MA Creative Entrepreneurship MA Creative Entrepreneurship Developing entrepreneurship for sustainable careers in the arts world This innovative course is for Visual Artists, Creative Writers, Musicians, Composers, Performing Artists and recent arts graduates who wish to establish a career in the fields of Visual Arts, Music and Creative Writing or in cultural provision. Based at UEA London and set in the most culturally vibrant area in the Capital, there can be no better place to advance your creative career. Course description MACE is the first and only course of its kind in the UK, offering creative practitioners the opportunity to sustain their current work independently while learning to deploy their creativity and develop new contexts for working, including London showcases and placements in arts and business organisations. The MA is flexible and responsive to your needs through an extensive programme supported by over 20 specialist visitors, reflecting the aspirations of each cohort of students. The course defines the artist as a creative entrepreneur who is able to sustain independent arts practice in the light of 21st century challenges. A unique feature is the development of your own personal arts plan to navigate a professional creative future. Visiting speakers are drawn from across the UK creative industries including the Arts Council, arts and business, charitable trusts, corporate sponsors, the National Lottery and local authorities. Leading professionals from business, financial management, communications, legal and marketing fields contribute technical briefings. Seminars and talks are given by publishers, collectors, curators, concert promoters and festival directors, with individual contributions by successful entrepreneurial artists, composers, writers and prominent cultural leaders. Links are maintained with the University of East Anglia’s Schools of Literature and Creative Writing, Music and World Art Studies and Museology and the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts. Taught sessions are usually held on two days per week to enable students to continue their creative practice. The course comprises four taught modules and a dissertation or creative equivalent. Assessment is based on eight pieces of coursework, the arts plan and a final dissertation or creative project/practical work/ performance with a contextualised commentary.

The first course of its kind in the UK Module outlines Creative Entrepreneurship Dissertation You will either submit an academic dissertation of no more than 10,000 words or a creative project developed during the course together with a contextualising commentary of 3,000 to 5,000 words in which you demonstrate an understanding of the relationship of issues raised by the course to your own work. The Arts Plan You will undertake an individual five-year arts plan supported by tutorials which initially addresses your current position and assumptions as related to an historical context supported by research and analysis. In progressing an arts plan you will demonstrate at each stage a conceptual and practical understanding relating to your creative aims and objectives. The arts plan incorporates new applications of existing work (developed as responses to seminar tasks) demonstrating your ability to integrate the various elements of the course, including addressing risk and accommodating the possibility of failure. It will endeavour to provide evidence of academic skills in the pursuit of a valuable practical product, which can be taken away and used in a future professional capacity. The arts plan is an assessed piece of work (pass/fail only). Resources for the Arts This module addresses the opportunities to generate resources for the Arts with a review of the current funding structures open to creative entrepreneurs.
