The class activity will closely relate with a programme of visits to different institutions that will permit a direct contact and observation to the different management possibilities in the public and private sector, in the more structured organizations as well as in the more experimental ones. The last part of the course is dedicated to an event design workshop to give the possibility to test the skills learned.
The course is divided in 4 operational areas that dialogue together, the first one is an introduction to the most important artistic and cultural debates to ground the understanding of the art world. The second area is more technical and project management oriented, where all the phases and different skills are analysed, from writing a project to budgeting to communicating it.
During the course there is an intense programme of visits on site where the different art spaces and institutions will be studied in their management and programming models.
