Artistic director

Artistic director

An artistic director is the executive of an arts organization, particularly in a theatre company, that handles the artistic direction of a company. They are generally a producer and director, but not in the sense of a mogul, as they are generally working as a non-profit organization.

The artistic director of a theatre is similar to the music director of a symphony, the primary person responsible for planning a theatre's season.
