Program Summary

Managing artists requires more than passion - it takes strategy, insight, and the ability to navigate an ever-evolving industry. Our Artist Management course has been designed to give you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to identify, sign and support talent at every stage of their journey - whether you're managing emerging talent or planning to build your own roster.

You’ll explore what it really means to be an artist manager today - from deal-making and building a team, to marketing, branding, and career planning - all in a practical, step-by-step format that’s built for the real world.

Alongside immersive live sessions (with recordings available if you miss a class), you’ll gain personal support through a one-to-one mentorship session, and receive a tailored artist management strategy plan you can use immediately with your own artists or to launch your career.
