Producing successful art exhibitions relies on a diverse array of project management skills and practical expertise. Effectively overseeing and coordinating crucial tasks such as budget management, logistics organization, and stakeholder collaboration are key to ensuring exhibition success and creating a meaningful experience for the audience. Whether you’re a curator, gallery owner, or aspiring museum professional, this course will provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to manage art exhibitions with confidence.

The course guides you through the practical steps and procedures of realizing an exhibition–from the key aspects of art exhibition management, such as project planning, budgeting, installation, team-building, logistical coordination, and promotion to the essential mediating skills needed to communicate and collaborate with artists, curators, technical staff, and administrative bodies. By learning to balance artistic goals with administrative, legal, and financial requirements, you will be able to effectively address any challenges and navigate the exhibition-making process with ease.

We will begin by exploring the most important concepts and roles that go into planning an art exhibition. From there, we’ll move on to the practical and logistical aspects of budgeting, transportation, and installation. Additionally, we’ll examine how to recognize and mitigate potential risks. As you progress through the course, you will be introduced to various documents, templates and digital tools, that will assist you in managing every stage of the exhibition-making process. Each session will draw on relevant case studies and involve workshop-style discussions to aid you in better understanding and utilising the tools presented.

By the end of the course, you will have the necessary knowledge and practical tools to skillfully oversee and manage the production of exhibitions in the art world.
