Course overview

This course provides an understanding of the functions and principles of management within the field of arts and entertainment. It examines the role of arts management in creating opportunities for arts and cultural organisations to be vital, viable and responsive to stakeholders. The critical role of arts marketing in ensuring the engagement of diverse audiences and stakeholders is also examined.   Students will develop the necessary skills and knowledge, work in the arts and cultural sector, understand the sectors’ fundraising and sponsorship needs, contribute to the growing internationalisation of the arts, facilitate the vibrant and sustainable operation of arts organisations, and enable innovative programs that provide participatory opportunities for arts audiences.

Study within this program combines both the theory and practice of arts management, through a combination of reading, research and practical assignments.  Students have the opportunity to engage with a range of industry representatives, gain exposure to the work of cutting edge practitioners and thinkers, and integrate their work and learning.

Within this program students are able to specialise in areas of arts management such as project management, community based arts, and fundraising.

Students who successfully complete the Graduate Certificate of Arts and Entertainment Management will be eligible for entry into the Master of Arts and Entertainment Management.
