Centennial College's Arts Management Graduate Certificate program will prepare you for a career in the evolving arts and cultural industry. The courses in this two-semester program focus on helping you to develop the knowledge and skills to work in the performing arts sector (theatres, dance companies, music organizations, presenting facilities), the exhibiting arts sector (galleries, museums), and many other cultural and arts-related areas such as arts and film festivals. The program will explore the issues and practices that allow cultural organizations to build audiences and flourish today — and in the years to come. Facilitated at the Story Arts Centre, courses will combine business management, marketing and planning with the tools required to connect art, artists and audiences through fundraising, education and volunteerism.
Extensive experiential learning opportunities will connect principles with practice, actively engaging you with the arts management profession. As part of an eight-week field placement, you'll also have the opportunity to apply your learning in the industry. When you graduate from Arts Management, you'll have a thorough understanding of the political, economic, social, ethical, technological and managerial issues facing this sector. |
