Visual arts festivals. Can a love project become a sustainable business?
Contemporary art festivals are a great way to attract less engaged audiences to galleries and museums. Due to their popularity, more and more such events are running simultaneously – but for how much longer? Drawing on my experience in project management, my aim is to explore the organisational and sustainability issues of visual arts events.

Back to smaller cities! The contribution of independent art associations to the cultural revitalisation of Nîmes
Despite nearly four decades of decentralisation, France is still very much capital-centric. The saying still stands: in order to be successful, you need to exhibit in Paris. The dominance of metropolises results in a spiral where a significant number of artists and art school graduates move away from smaller cities, leaving their cultural scene empty. In what ways can independent cultural associations help change this situation? My thesis seeks to answer this question.
