Why study arts management at QUT?

As an arts manager, you recognise the contribution that arts, cultural and creative activities make to our society and our sense of wellbeing.  You are committed to using your own talent, energy and enthusiasm to make these experiences available to everyone.

In your arts management studies at QUT, you will develop the leadership, management and administration skills needed to run productions, events and festivals. You will develop a detailed knowledge of current policy, industrial and production practices across a range of art forms, new trends and technologies. Through your studies in arts management, festival and event production, entrepreneurship, marketing and professional communication, you will hone your leadership, management, communication and audience development skills, as well as your ability to present, promote and market the short-run productions, projects, events and exhibitions that characterise the creative industries today.

You will be taught by some of Brisbane’s most effective, highly-educated arts managers and industry professionals, and will benefit from their networks and insights into this exciting career pathway. You will also have the opportunity to put your skills into practice in a real-world theatre, dance, music, art, new media, film or television company via internships, industry projects and other networking activities.

Career outcomes

Graduates work as producers, managers and marketers of theatre, dance, music, visual arts, new media, television and film projects, as well as leaders and high-level consultants to government, business, not-for-profit and independent arts, cultural and creative organisations.
