Summary
"Shape the future of the art market with London's first MA in Art Business.
The MA in Art Business was the first program of its kind and our innovative curriculum continues to set the industry standard today.
This MA offers a unique opportunity to study the art market right at the hub of the cultural and commercial art world: London.
It provides students with an academic but highly practical understanding of those areas considered most important by art world professionals and employers: finance and management; law and ethics; and global art market dynamics.
The MA in Art Business provides students with the necessary theories and skills to enable them to develop both a critical and practical understanding of art business.
Students are also equipped with the necessary mathematical skills to enable them to engage in sophisticated financial analysis and business planning.
Graduates of this program will thus emerge with the ability to place the art object within both its aesthetic and commercial context, and to discuss the legal and ethical implications of its historical provenance and current location.
Highlights Experiential learning Visits and international study trips are significant learning events, with the travel, seeing the art in situ and informal access to tutors serving to intensify the experience.
Unique and specific projects Curating, cataloging, marketing, and selling an art exhibition in St Ives art colony, Cornwall with Alicia Livingstone Gallery, and an optional semester three project allowing the opportunity to work with emerging artists.
The Enterprise StudioGives Mater's students hands-on enterpreneurial support, mentorship, and resources to develop real ventures in the art and luxury sectors, culminationg in The Gavel pitch competition.
