Venice Curatorial Course

About

Venice Curatorial Course is a one-month intensive curatorial program. We bring together professionals, students and researchers from all over the globe in a network of curators, artists, collectors, art dealers and experienced people related to the art world, who work independently or as part of both private and public institutions worldwide. 

The course methodology ranges from specific theoretical lectures to a practical approach, composed by discussions and debates strongly focused on what the students need to know to develop in a professional way the role of curators. 

We will work together in conceiving, structuring and setting up a real project, encouraging and reinforcing specific skills that have to be considered such as: structuring and developing concepts, writing and speaking in public, among other specific workshops. Relevant figures and technics as well as a financial approach to the work will also be considered, in order to cover a global vision of what a curator needs to take into account when curating a project. 

The program includes studio visits and the chance of meeting relevant figures in the Venetian contemporary art reality. Venice Curatorial Course gives the students a chance to gain practice and theoretical knowledge to be able to face and respond with success to the opportunities of developing a career as a curator.
