Katherine Bell is a senior editor at HarvardBusiness.org. She wrote a refreshing post on the benefits of artistic training for an MBA!!
She says:"...I realized my MFA had been a pretty good management-training course. I didn’t learn a thing about finance, but for two years, I’d practiced disciplined imagination -- a requirement for innovation. And I’d learned a few things about managing people (and myself). "
She shares what she learnt here:

Having said this, I believe the other way round is also true: some management training would be quite useful for an MFA program!!
