Arts Management Istituto Europeo Di Design (IED)

Overview

The Arts Management at IED Firenze and IED Roma will train up a professional Art Manager in a top cultural context across 3 art capitals (Florence and Rome first, but also Venice for a week-long workshop). Together we will develop your personal identity, shaped by a humanist, arts-related, and business spirit that combines creativity and action. As part of this training, you will be involved in delivering and managing innovative cultural events. You will master design, planning, marketing and business skills, finding ways to adapt and mediate content, artists and spaces. These three factors have all an impact on the success of an event, and you will soon learn how best to work with them.

Key Facts

The  Arts Management offered by Istituto Europeo Di Design (IED) aims to provide and enhance all the theory and practical tools you need to coordinate project development of an art and cultural world event, covering everything from needs analysis to budgets and communication plans to fund-raising logic. In a laboratory-like environment that fosters interdisciplinarity, knowledge exchange and teamwork, you will experience 11 months of lessons and face-to-face activities, visits to museums, galleries, archaeological sites and specific projects. This Master's Diploma is divided into two work modules: the one in Florence focuses more on design and event and exhibition organisation in the areas of visual and performing arts. The excellent level of museums in Florence is a source of great inspiration for future art managers. The module held in Rome, on the other hand, focuses on a cross-media approach in art productions. Indeed, the dissertation project is about creating and managing a cultural production in the city of Rome, as you field-test your own cultural, organisational and technical skills. A special week of meetings at the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice is also held as part of the training.
