The main goals are to spread the knowledge in the field of visual arts and to introduce the students to the professions related to the art world, focusing on contemporary curatorial theory and practice and contemporary museology. The School’s activities are meant for all those interested and passionate in art, graduated students or professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and improve their practical skills. The School’s teaching staff is formed by Italian and international professionals, scholars, historians and art critics of recognized experience.</div><div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.03em; line-height: 1.2rem; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The program</span></div><div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.03em; line-height: 1.2rem; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Summer School in Curatorial Practice will take place during the 56th International Art Biennale of Venice. With an interdisciplinary approach, the course provides practical training and experience within museums and exhibition settings. Its international faculty includes curators and museum professionals, artists and critics. The course is designed to increase students understanding of the intellectual and technical tasks of the curator figure. English-taught lectures cover both theoretical and practical topics that go from the history of contemporary visual arts and practices of exhibition-making, to Exhibition Management. The students will participate in weekly activities, such as artist studio visits, tours of exhibition spaces, networking events and workshops. The program culminates with the set up of the exhibition and the publication of a printed catalogue.</div><div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.03em; line-height: 1.2rem; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Summer School includes visits of specific art venues all over the city of Venice during the 56th International Art Biennale. A series of selected case studies will offer the students an opportunity to observe the development of contemporary art. The School’s goal is to align these specific theoretical lectures with a practical approach. Besides the theoretical lectures, a series of laboratories and workshops aims to introduce the students to the work of critical text writing, press releases and to structure all the different aspects of publishing. The students will be offered the possibility of a gallery training and of setting up together - with one of our tutors, their exhibition in Venice, as a final project of the course.</div><div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.03em; line-height: 1.2rem; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">How to apply</span></div><div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.03em; line-height: 1.2rem; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The application for the Summer Curatorial Program is now open! <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The deadline has been set on March 31th, 2016</span>.
