Arts Administration
Certificate IV (CUV40503)
Description
The theoretical and practical course is designed to reflect the role of individuals working in arts administration. Students participate in practical projects in simulated environments, museums, gallery restaurants and/or public galleries.
The Arts Administration course has two strands running concurrently throughout the year.
A generic arts administration strand relevant to all art forms covering planning, financing and marketing.
A practical application strand which focuses on devising, developing and presenting a range of real and simulated exhibitions and events.
The course will incorporate a combination of learning strategies including class work, excursions and practical experience. The course is also suited to those who are currently employed in an arts administration role where they are able to develop their skills on the job.

- Statewide. Attendance at workshops/tutorials in Launceston or Hobart will be required.
How will I learn?
The formal learning will be structured around activities based in Hobart and Launceston. These structured activities will normally be restricted to one full-day a week. In addition, research and project activities will take place at various times during the year. The work loads will vary and will be individually negotiated to suit specific projects and workplaces and to take advantage of opportunities to engage in projects in the community that may arise.
How will I be assessed?
Assessment will be based on class participation, observation, workbook activities, a reflective journal, practical work, presentations and outcomes from projects. Some assessment activities will be part of the formal structure and others will be negotiated to suit individual student needs.
