Understand how art, technology, and society intertwine to shape contemporary culture.
Digital transformation has redefined the way we produce, communicate, and experience art. The Continuing Education Certificate in the Arts and Their Impact in Contemporary Society offers a comprehensive perspective on this new ecosystem, where artistic creation, social research, technological innovation, and cultural management converge.
Throughout the program, you will explore how the media, methods, and languages of contemporary art operate, their communication and visibility strategies, and the challenges that digitalization poses for institutions, professionals, and creative communities. You will also analyze artistic production in both local and global contexts, considering audiences, goals, awards, open calls, and cultural circuits.
You will deepen your understanding of how to identify key audiences (galleries, museums, public institutions, educational centers, healthcare spaces, press, collectors, and more), as well as how to market cultural projects and services—from curatorial work and educational programs to art therapy initiatives, events, curatorial texts, social media content, and artwork sales.
By the end of the program, you will have a critical and up-to-date perspective and be prepared to design, communicate, and manage meaningful cultural projects in the digital world.
