Hong Kong and countries all over the world, or indeed most developed countries and some developing countries, both their public and the private sectors, invest a lot of resources in developing art and culture with a view to enhancing its citizens’ life and developing their countries’ cultural economy. Hence, it is essential for such countries to have adequate and able human resource to manage either the public or the private non-profit cultural organizations. This course aims to equip students with knowledge and skills for managing such organizations. They would learn the different management functions and skills to interact effectively with different stakeholders in the art ecology whereby art making, art promoting, art seeing, art selling, art financing, art archiving and art learning are all interwoven into a colourful tapestry making a city culturally rich and vibrant.
