I don’t think, then, a philosophy masters would be the best route for you. Are there masters programs in an applicable art field that would perhaps more directly fit your interests? To be perfectly honest, philosophy masters->PhDs are for those who want to teach and/or research philosophy. I suppose you could tie to art, but it doesn’t seem like what you really want to do, or are at least sure you want to do.

Masters programs rarely have funding, so it is unusual to apply to just a Masters program unless you don’t have the credentials to get into a PhD program. Bottom line, I would encourage you to look at all your options, whether they be academic or professional. This could mean not pursuing a Masters at all, or picking a more “fitting” program.
