Who: Early career curators
interested in gaining a practical understanding of the art market, and more
experienced curators wishing to refresh their

Cost: Fully-funded (including
lunch)
This fully-funded course is designed to provide early career
curators, and curators interested in developing their collecting ambitions, with
a relevant, practical understanding of the workings of the art
market.
The course combines on-line learning with a one-day seminar
at Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London on Friday 6 December.
The four on-line sessions will be available for curators to
access at any time during a one month period and will cover themes such
as:
· An Introduction
to the Art Market
· Auction houses
and how to buy at auction
· How the
Galleries, Dealers, Art Fairs and Collectors operate
· Resources for
the Art Market
The subsequent one-day seminar will give participants a
chance to review and discuss the online content, ask questions, and lastly build
relationships with new contacts through facilitated visits to commercial
galleries and auction houses in the afternoon. These visits will be arranged
according to the specialisms and interests of the curators taking part in order
to make them as fruitful as possible.
Feedback from participants on last year’s course
includes:
It was
amongst the most effective [courses] I have been on, both in terms of content
and format, and I will certainly use what I have learnt in my work from now
on.
It has given me more confidence
in approaching and visiting galleries and auction houses.
This course is fully-funded by the Art Fund in partnership
with Sotheby’s Institute of Art. This does not include transportation to/from
the seminar in London, however if you or your organisation cannot cover travel
