Description

An Arts Manager is a new figure, one who is able to identify original contents and organize a detailed programming of event characteristics, as well as planning and fundraising necessary resources. They also have an essential understanding of the strategic positioning of cultural products.

The Course also gives the graduate the ability to be in charge, as a Cultural Manager, of financing and managing cultural organizations, defining the product and services of the organization in the context of a specific Arts market. The student will learn to coordinate organizational activities and to be in charge of the communication process with both public and private organizations.

The Master in Arts management is subdivided into three operational modules that have an individual study path related to the city they are in. Each module will end with an exam and a final project. The courses are partly carried through the entirety of the Masters and partly specific to the different locations. The fields emphasized in Rome will be Economy and Culture, in Florence Events Planning and Management and in Venice Artistic Direction. During the last stretch of the course the final event will be analyzed and organized; a project articulated so that each student or student group will be confronted with the realities of the Artistic and Cultural fields in order to conclude a real project in the city of Venice.

Highlights

* Cultural Management - Rome

Objective of the program is to develop a new approach to Artistic heritage management through the historical and cultural vocation of the city of Rome. This metropolis is capable of offering a consolidated experience in the institutional area, as well as a rich urban melting pot of international and interdisciplinary cultures.

The Masters stop in Rome is meant to combine the high culture that the city interprets at international levels, and the vivacious activities and scenes that create its urban culture. With the support of new technologies the newest urban themes will be approached, in an effort to explore and develop the possible cultural convergences and promote interest and participation.

Because of its history, Rome has had the need to manage and enhance its immense cultural heritage, and because of this it requires managerial and organizational figures capable of dealing with its complexities.

* Event Planning - Florence

The course aims at the creation of a professional figure that is specialized in the
designing, planning and organizing of complex and articulated events in the sociocultural fields. The courses focus on the specific abilities of managing the different phases of organizing an event: from the analysis of a plan, to contacting the partners and sponsors, to communication management, up to the creation of contents for the event itself.

The resulting professional will have gained expertise in the fields of event promotion and management for a wide range of different cultural or promotional situations.

* Art Direction - Venice

The third and last academic module presents itself as a creative and applied workshop of new ideas and artistic and cultural developments. The first months of work will involve a design synthesis and will lead to a final phase that requires the study and presentation of a project.

The project will be based on the actual abilities of each participant and aims at developing a design theme that allows the creation of cultural and artistic management plans applied to emerging artists or guild, to museums or institutions that require a more structured, creative and innovative management of their contents and structures.
