AEMC Paris — Cultural and Arts Management

Helping
others’ art
come to life.

A festival to launch, a work to share, a venue to develop. In Paris, AEMC supports adults who want to build their practice in cultural and arts management.

Behind every work of art,
someone makes a way.

In 2001, on rue de l’Aqueduc in Paris’s 10th arrondissement, one question gave rise to AEMC, the Agence Européenne du Management Culturel: who would help works of art reach their audience? That question still guides us.

A work of art.
The means.
An audience.

Drawing up a budget, making the case for an idea, bringing a team together. Often, it is the work behind the scenes that allows the curtain to rise.

One vocation.
Many settings.

Cultural and arts management takes shape in theatres, galleries and festivals, and alongside artists. Four programmes and two workshops help you give your projects the means to grow.

You already
have a story.

You may be a professional ready to go further, an adult changing careers, or someone with a project waiting for its moment. You arrive with experience. That is where the work begins: with practical situations, experimentation and conversation.

  1. Understand

    Read the context, understand a place and listen to its audiences.

  2. Design

    Give an idea a clear direction and test its feasibility.

  3. Lead

    Bring resources together and organise a team’s work.

  4. Connect

    Bring people into contact with art and assess the impact.

Discover the atelier

Starting in Paris.
Looking across Europe.

A company, an exhibition or an idea can find its audience far beyond the place where it began. In Paris, Berlin, Lisbon or Brussels, that means understanding the context, opening a dialogue and giving the project the means to travel.

Take projects across borders
