Changes in cultural policy, arts funding and social structures have led arts organizations to re-examine their actions and practices from a more market-oriented perspective. For instance, in pro-portion to the decline in public subsidies for the arts, private funding has become an increasingly important source of funding. The general position of arts organizations is also changing, and they are increasingly required to demonstrate their impact on society and attractiveness to customers.

For this reason, arts managers across the field need to continuously develop their managerial skills and learn how to apply various managerial tools and theories in the field of arts and culture. This 6 ECTS introductory course in arts management is organized by the Department of Arts Management at the Sibelius Academy.The course is based on lectures, case workshops, visits to organizations and various materials pro-vided during the lectures. Since the interaction and involvement of both students and staff will be emphasized, participants are expected to participate actively in discussions during the lectures, the case workshops and organizational visits.
