MSc in Visual Arts Management

The MSc Visual Arts Management prepares professionals to navigate the full Artist – Market – Museum ecosystem, with a comprehensive understanding of the interactions and collaborations between these three spheres: developing an artistic project, entering and engaging with the market and defining a promotional strategy, fostering dialogue and exchange between markets and museums, and shaping museum policies for exhibitions and collection development. A well-managed artistic career enables artists to cultivate their unique identity, gain recognition and demand in the market, and ultimately, perhaps one day, see their works acquired by museum collections.

The programme covers the full range of skills required, combining European artistic and cultural management (Audencia) and its American perspective (Boston University), with art history and museology (École du Louvre) — three institutions renowned for the quality of their education in arts and culture. It offers a high-end positioning that brings together the complementary strengths of both continents: public support for artistic creation and innovation in Europe, and marketing and fundraising expertise in the United States, within a global approach to the art world.

Throughout the year, the Knowledge Hub team welcomes, educates, and trains students in documentary research methodology, database consultation, bibliographic formatting, and plagiarism avoidance.

A team of 9 documentalists is available to students and teachers to assist students and teachers with their research.

In this way, each student can be received in individual appointments to be assisted in their research or to be trained in bibliographic reference management tools. Teachers also benefit from the support of the librarians for their teaching projects (identification of tools, enrichment of courses with bibliographic references).
