MA in Visual Arts Management and Curating

MA in Visual Arts Management & Curating – starting Fall 2018
Richmond’s MA in Visual Arts Management & Curating equips students with the entrepreneurial knowledge and professional skills required to critically engage with global visual cultures of the twenty-first century and become innovative, creative and resilient leaders in their fields.
Richmond University’s MA in Visual Arts Management and Curating prepares students in the professional knowledge, skills and experience required for a career in the visual arts sector and the creative industries. The program is unique in that it straddles the publicly funded (Not for Profit) and commercial visual arts sector with a strong emphasis on education and curation. Students learn how museums, galleries, auction houses, creative startups, collectors and funders operate in today’s increasingly global art world.
Students will take courses in: arts management and marketing; arts policy; arts education; the international art market; research methods and curating, alongside an (optional) internship.
Optional Accredited Internship
The Internship Programme integrates theory with practice. Students will be challenged to relate classroom situations to the workplace, make contacts which may prove valuable to their future employment prospects, and gain confidence in their capabilities, creativity and communication skills. Internships are designed to be both demanding and rewarding. The internship will provide an opportunity to deploy the skills learned on courses in a real world setting, as students produce an assessed record of their experiences.
