About the Course

Today cultural institutions are facing important dilemmas in many aspects of their management. Over the past decades, a new figure has emerged that of the art manager. Imagine you went to work every day to connect artists with audiences, vision with reality, and money with a mission. That is what managers in the arts do, they play an essential role in transforming the minds, lives, and communities through creative expression. This course has been conceptualized to address the need of skills and techniques to help professionals and managers in running art and cultural institutions. Learning Objectives There are three objectives to this course. First, we will approach the biggest issue cultural institutions face, the coexistence of managers and curators and giving evidence as to when, how, and why they can get along. Second, we will focus on some contemporary facets on what is means to manage a cultural institution and what cultural managers should expect and be able to face. And lastly, we will provide models and tools to design and implement appropriate courses of action to satisfy customers (visitors and audiences) and build an advantage over the competition. Course Structure The course is divided into six sections. Five sections are dedicated to specific aspects and themes of managing cultural institutions, while the sixth section is dedicated to individual interviews of prominent cultural institution managers on specific topics. The involvement of professionals and managers gives an incredible value to the learning experience of this course. Each module is paired with a quiz and discussion forums to reflect on the variety of the heritage management, its complexity, and the power of the network that we will build together during the course. Successful completion of the quizzes is required for a course certificate as explained in the Grading Policy page. If you love art and want to make an impact in this unique and fantastic sector, this course will support you in understanding the peculiarities of this sector and how to leverage on its tools to make a bigger impact. Look forward to meeting you online!

it was really useful to repeat all the themes that i already studied during my master degree in this way, of course to be able to manage all of them u need to focus more on each but it was really really useful and rich of beautiful testimonials.

I think this course is a very good introductory course for beginners with no prior experience like me. I've learned many new concepts. I would like to know though how these management concepts may be applied in real life.

very condensed with useful information. But the content drew mostly on the cases in and around Europe or better to say in Italy. Wish there are more hands on case studies and examples from other part of the world.

It is good for newbies... very basic stuff but gives you an overall of the challenges that cultural institutions face. Focused 90% on museums if you are interested in other arts.

I have learned a lot from the discussions and essays by my coursemates. The videos and readings were very informative.

Quizzes were subjective so I will be giving 4 stars.

Overall very helpful and interesting! Some lectures were a little brief, for example the whole CRM part, which seemed worth more attention. But as an overview, very good.

Interesting course, a bit simplicistic sometimes but in a general way very useful for people that don't usually work with management

The content is quite good however the language differences has created significant errors in the quiz. For example "declined" instead of "defined" which changes the implication.

basically it is a lesson largely about the theory of management, and i personally think with more examples ,these theories could be introduced more concrete and vivid
