My journey at the IESA school of arts and culture

As a passionate lover of art and culture, my journey at IESA arts&culture has been nothing short of transformative. Pursuing a master’s degree in business administration with a specialization in MBA in Arts and Cultural Management has made me a dynamic leader in the field.

Throughout my time at IESA, I was immersed in a meticulously designed program that harmoniously blended critical studies of the cultural sector with practical management skills. This approach gave me an in-depth understanding of the subtleties of arts management, while hands-on projects sharpened my skills in project management, event coordination, and fundraising. Collaborating with peers from diverse backgrounds fostered an environment of creativity and innovation, enhancing my learning experience.

Highlights include captivating excursions to Art Basel in Basel and the ARCO fair in Madrid, where I gained expertise in the global art market and knowledge of diverse artistic expressions. The exceptional guidance of lecturers such as Daniel Lesbaches and Christel de Noblet further enriched my academic journey, leaving an indelible mark on my professional development.
