  • Objectives

    The Directorate of Cultural Projects or Institutions trains executives and managers of public and private cultural organizations in the development, design, implementation and evaluation of cultural projects within private or public structures. In this multidisciplinary approach, emphasis is placed on the development of field experience reinforced by compulsory internships. In addition, it enables the changes at work in contemporary societies and in the cultural sector to be taken into account: the preservation of diversity, democratisation, the attractiveness and dynamism of territories, support for industries or the recognition of sectors. It provides students with the theoretical and operational analysis tools needed to implement strategies and projects within artistic and cultural institutions.

    In the Faculty of Economics and Management, this specialization offers 1 course: the Administration of Cultural Institutions course.

Cécile, in Master 2 Management of cultural projects or establishments, course Administration of cultural institutions (AIC) at the FEG on the campus of Arles. I'm going to present you my training. Before starting my training, I did a degree in history, then I did a civic service in a cultural affairs department of a city and then I entered the Master's degree in History in the Cultural Project Management course at La Rochelle. I came to this Master's degree from the FEG, because I wanted to do my second year of the Master's degree as a sandwich course and the FEG allowed me to do so. Today I am doing my work-study at the department of Seine-et-Marne, in the cultural affairs department. We are organising a festival - it's very good because I am applying everything I learn in the framework of our training. For example, as part of our training, we had courses in intellectual property law, management, accounting, in management, in accounting. These are things that I hadn't seen at all, because my background was more in literature and the humanities, and today I use them every day! For example, we had courses in digital communication, to manage the festival's website, which is very useful, and also in terms of budgets, to know how to read an estimate and establish a budget for a project! Afterwards, I hope to graduate in September, after defending my thesis and continue working in public administration, because that's what I like. As I have been well trained at the FEG, I hope to graduate in September 2021

Before joining this program, I did a BTS in communication, then a professional license in cultural project management with a specialization in performing arts (theater, dance, circus) and finally a one-year civic service in an urban art association in Besançon called Juste Ici, which is known for its Bien Urbain festival. I chose this Master's degree for the content of the courses which is mainly centered on the administrative management of a structure or a cultural and artistic project. In the first year of the Master's program, I chose not to do a work-study program in order to concentrate on the courses and to adapt to a new environment. I was able to do a tutored project with the Conservatory of Arles which allowed me to discover this structure, its functioning and to take part in the organization of certain events. For my second year of the Master's program, I decided to do a work-study program in order to become more professional and to apply my courses; everything became more concrete! I am in the same association as my civic service and I assist the administrator on various missions: administration (subsidies, artists' contracts, management of rights, balance sheet, accounting etc.), human resources management (pay slips, training, vacations, recruitment of civic service and interns etc.), and production (transport, catering, accommodation, planning, logistics etc.). For my part, the law, management, accounting and public finance courses are very useful in my work. Moreover, I rely heavily on my work-study program for the writing of my thesis. I have access to the resources of my organization and all my colleagues have agreed to let me talk to them to flesh out my speech! Once I graduate in September 2023, I will be hired in my structure as an administrator and I hope to continue my career as an administrator (in the urban art sector or elsewhere!).
