Arts Management Diploma Program

18 months, Blended

Arts management is a unique opportunity for those who wish to create performances behind the scenes. 

The Arts Manager occupies the most important position on any project – from the very beginning to the very end. Nothing can happen without this position!

This program was designed for performing arts managers, arts administrators, arts entrepreneurs, producers and talented managers, working in various creative industries, seeking further professional development and international networking.

What are the Arts manager’s responsibilities?

They develop the material, hire the writers, and find the buyers and financiers. They oversee performance development, castings, hiring of the crew, locations, distribution, festivals, and so much more. Ultimately, the arts manager, who is the producer too, is the most involved with a project through every phase (from pre-production to production and post-production).

 

The key learning objectives of the program focus on theoretical and practical tasks to help students explore:

     

  • how to organize international art events, productions, meetings, festivals, exhibitions;
  • how to establish contacts and work productively with team, with colleagues, possible partners and stakeholders;
  • what should a manager know about art, creative industry and its legal aspects;
  • pre-production, production and postproduction of performance, film, show etc.
