Madrid,
This summer Artepreneur, a human resources consultancy focused on the artistic sector and the Spanish and Latin American context, began its activity. Its aim is to facilitate contacts between talented professionals linked to this field and the companies that require their hiring, replicating the model of other organisations in the English-speaking world. Its founder is María Gracia de Pedro, a graduate in Fine Arts from the University of Zaragoza and a Master in Art Market from UDIMA-CEF, who also has certificates in leadership in visual arts (Deusto Business School, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and NYU New York) and in entrepreneurship (Deusto Business School and City Bank) and until now she had developed her career as a gallery owner, curator and teacher. Her doctoral thesis is entitled Emerging artists and their market. Strategies for their development from the academic to the professional fieldfor four years he has directed the Badr El Jundi gallery and is a founding member of Gallery Climate Coalition – GCC Spain.
The fundamental service that the firm will offer to companies linked to the artistic field is advice on the process of hiring their future employees, long-term or temporary, after a search for profiles appropriate to their needs and the characteristics of the artistic sphere, Artepreneur also specializes in recruiting management profiles. Another of the possibilities that Artepreneur offers its clients is putting them in contact with expert consultants for the production and management of specific projects, such as the communication of certain events, the creation of a new department in an entity, exponential growth or restructuring: the professionals with whom this firm has established a collaboration network are in the areas of communication, financial management, curating and coordination of collections or strategic growth.
Finally, Artepreneur offers its advisory and guidance services to workers in the cultural sector or to those who wish to embark on a career linked to art, through mentoring or private consulting programs that will take into account the creation of strategies, the expansion of networks and the fact that this labor market has a high number of vacancies that remain hidden from general employment portals: they are not made public and are transmitted by word of mouth.
Currently, the Artepreneur portal is recruiting profiles such as gallery directors or managers, sales managers or fair assistants.
