Introduction
This course is held in English language
The Master's Program in Arts Management is a grand tour of art featuring a unique itinerant formula that brings students to three art capitals: Florence, Venice, and Rome. In these cities, art merges with several business realities, allowing the acquisition of wide-ranging skills and competencies they can use in different fields. Participants have the chance to spend one intensive week at IED Venezia, getting in touch with one of the most renowned art institutions, such as the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.
A special focus is put on the organization of events, as at the end of each module students have to design and manage an event related to art and culture. The Master's Program in Arts Management course builds a central figure for the life of cultural institutions that deal with art project management. This professional is capable of identifying innovative content, structuring a comprehensive event schedule, planning and developing fundraising events, and resource management.
Interdisciplinarity and innovation are the two keywords that characterize the whole pathway since students are also prepared to face the new scenario of digital professions.
