Learn the project management of exhibitions and art festivals through lectures and practical training in the "Art & Project Management Course."
Loftwork Inc. and N&A Co., Ltd. will launch the "Art & Project Management Course" in November 2021, a program designed to cultivate professionals capable of realizing diverse art projects through scientific and logical project management methodologies.
This initiative is managed and operated by NINE Limited Liability Partnership (NINE LLP), established by both companies in October 2021. The course offers a unique curriculum that combines the expertise in art business cultivated by the two companies with project management methodologies, providing training in project management specifically for art management through lectures, practical exercises, and hands-on exhibition construction experience.
Through practical learning at an art festival, the course will allow participants to learn about the behind-the-scenes workings of exhibition construction and the realities of project management from industry professionals. A site visit to "FUJI TEXTILE WEEK / Weaving and Presence" and the "TEXTILE & ART Exhibition" (scheduled from December 10, 2021, to January 9, 2022; details to be announced in late October) in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture, is also planned.
Applications will be accepted until 12:00 PM on Thursday, October 28, 2021. The course begins on Friday, November 5.
