Arts and Event Management is about the creation and organisation of live arts and other events – anything from art exhibitions to theatrical productions, music gigs to multi-artform festivals, dance workshops to fashion shows. In this course you will develop the knowledge, skills and understanding required to make such events succeed. Our aim is to support and enable you to develop as a successful arts manager, able to work at the forefront of the arts and creative industries.

Most professional arts and event management is undertaken in teams and we replicate that on the course; groups will work together to devise, develop and deliver a variety of events each year. You will firstly learn more about the arts and then develop the necessary business and technical skills to become a successful arts and event management professional. Everything is taught from the arts manager’s perspective, and the course takes a very practical approach. The exceptionally high practical content is a unique and defining feature of the course. You will be encouraged to develop your specialist artform interests and all events you organise will be ‘live’.
