Thanks for stopping by… http://www.artsmanagement.ie is aimed at folks interested in the area of arts management in Ireland and further afield. It is linked with the School of Art History & Cultural Policy at University College Dublin (in particular the MA programme in Arts Management and Cultural Policy), and was written & maintained by a current Professor and former Head of School (that’s me, Emily Mark-FitzGerald!) from 2007-2024. I’ve helped run the MA in Arts Management & Cultural Policy since 2003, and this blog was an outgrowth of that work! I’ve previously been a board member and Chair of Arts and Disability Ireland (2017-23), and represented art history on the Historical Studies Committee of the Royal Irish Academy (2014-23); for nine years I also served as one of the Directors of the Irish Museums Association (2009-18).

Although the blog and job listings have now wound up, I hope the links and other info on this site will help those working professionally in arts management in Ireland (especially alumni and current students from our programme). For any questions. please email me or use the form below:
