For candidates with the vision of an explorer, the mind of a leader, the soul of an artist.
This Master is designed for candidates who aspire to pursue a career in the art world and to cultivate a global vision as future changers – and who can fluidly span across global art practices, businesses, languages,
and cultures. The program seeks to provide candidates with advanced skills to become cultural leaders, who dynamically address challenging issues impacting the art sector and its fast-changing trends.
Through effective management, direction, and trans- cultural lectures, as well as the specialization in a foreign language (Arabic, Chinese, or Russian), candidates
will gain a unique, competitive, and multidisciplinary curriculum that will allow them to become professionals with high global potential – from an academic, employability, and curricular perspective.
Upon completion of the program, candidates will
have developed highly professionalizing, applied, and multidisciplinary skills to become an international leader in the sensitive intersections of art, management, geopolitics, business, and future.
