Início / Plastic Arts and Artistic Technologies
Presentation
Graduates in Plastic Arts and Artistic Technologies have the ability to harness their artistic and technological expertise across a variety of settings, both private and public, particularly as authors, engaging with different systems of production, enhancing and marketing their projects.
These skills also extend to the field of public art, encompassing collaborative efforts or projects that boost social engagement in the community. This involves partnerships with entities like museums, galleries, cultural spaces and organisations focused on social and cultural activities, especially those associated with both tangible and intangible artistic heritage.
It also pertains to entities seeking to incorporate creative professionals into their teams for roles ranging from artistic creation, production, technical tasks and research to leadership, artistic management and coordination.
