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.

CULTURAL MANAGEMENT (Rome Module)

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 complexity.
