The Curating and Exhibition Management short course introduces and analyses key issues concerning the development and successful execution of exhibitions and is organised around a series of unique presentations and site visits delivered by the course tutor. Guest lecturers also speak about current curatorial practices and exhibition management.
Exhibitions are core activities in museums and art galleries. The curation of museum collections and contemporary art in combination with important international loans offer varying presentations of artworks by a particular artist, a group of artists, one genre, one theme, or a particular collection. Exhibitions are conceived by curators and organised in collaboration with other institutions, exhibition organisers and exhibition registrars.
This curating and Exhibition Management evening course is designed for individuals interested in working in this area or who may have attended the The Business of the Visual Arts course. Students will learn how to engage within the industry to better prepare and equip themselves with the professional skills needed to develop and manage successful exhibitions to embark on an exciting career in Exhibition Management.
