Arts management at the Faculty of Business Administration at VŠE? I believed in it, just as the former Rector and Dean did. We knew that times were changing and business in creativity and culture was the future. But that we would get to the world top in only one decade? That is what I had not even thought of…, “ says founder of programme Jiří Patočka.
Arts management is focused on education in management, marketing, media, and the economics of culture, which are then combined with culture-oriented courses. Its ambition is to educate students so they can occupy chief posts in commercial, non-profit and government organisations. „Long-term issue of the Czech culture is its management. Either there are economists, who do not understand culture, or theorists, who do not understand economics. Our goal is to bridge that gap. Our second goal is to educate artists in the fields of finance and management,“ adds Patočka.
