The New Performing Arts Institute one-year Arts Management Program aims to highlight one of the most important positions in arts and culture industry. Students eager to control their own destiny in the business world of performing arts flourish in this intensive hands-on program. It is geared toward students with little or no experience in management and producing, but who recognize that an intensive and demanding program, much like the job of producing itself, will provide them with the knowledge they seek.

 

Students are treated as managers throughout the duration of the course, and are challenged each step of the way. Students are encouraged but not required to bring a piece of intellectual property — adaptation projects which might consist of: a book of fiction, magazine article, newspaper article, biography, autobiography, or original idea at the beginning of the course which serves as the foundation for their real project. Students take this project through the various stages of development: idea, plan, realization, control and improvement. Students learn the real-word strategies for successful managing  and are encouraged to develop the professional network needed within the industry.

​

From the first day of class, students are immersed in a hands-on education. Students undergo a thorough class work and distant tasks that lay the groundwork for a professional life. They learn both the creative aspects of management , as well as the more technical, line producing side. All students participate in an intensive sequence of classes, hand-on workshops and distant sessions.
 

All students pursuing a certificate program at The New International Performing Arts Institute must be proficient in English and earn a bachelor's degree (at a minimum) or an acceptable equivalent.
