“I began the program at Boston University in 1992 with the intention of creating one of the finest arts administration programs in the country. The goal was to draw upon the wealth of Boston’s rich cultural community for teaching resources and internship opportunities. We currently have more than 80 full and part-time students who have come from around the country and the world, fairly evenly divided between the visual and performing arts. Students from both disciplines are often in classes together and we believe the exchange to be a valuable one.

Although the program has expanded significantly in terms of the number of courses being offered, we have retained our commitment to hiring faculty who are active and prominent in the field, and have kept our class size small.”

Having lived and worked in Boston for over 30 years, Professor Ranalli has extensive experience as an arts administrator, curator, art critic, gallery director and artist, with widespread contacts in the region. Ranalli has worked with the National Endowment for the Arts, numerous state arts councils and has had over 120 solo and group shows.
