In the course of my internship I fulfilled art management duties mainly in the areas of music and visual arts. I tried myself both independently and as part of a group in order to figure out what suits me best. In the first half of my training I helped compile the professional and art portfolio of a creative producer, and acted as manager to a media artist. Then, as part of my main project, I worked in a freshly launched music club as an art manager, this time as part of a group. To this day I am part of two different music collectives as a communications and programme manager. My work experience gave me a much fuller picture of event management. It also helped me explore what I am not interested in and what I would like to do more of in future, thus helping me consciously shape my career. I also chose a thesis subject that enables me to gain a deeper understanding of managing collective arts institutions, as that is where I envision my professional future.
