Course Description
For artists looking to develop their professional capacity in a mutually supportive environment towards a live, public online group exhibition. PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE enables artists to explore exhibition making in an historical and contemporary context before interrogating the mechanisms by which artists’ work becomes public. Through a series of workshops and seminars, artists are encouraged to develop and manage professional assets which are brought to a 1-2-1 meeting with a leading curator. Promoted by Contemporary Art Academy and participating artists, PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE culminates in a curated online exhibition.
Key outcomes from PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE:
- Workshops led by London based art world professionals
- 1-2-1 feedback from leading curator
- Career insights from leading artist
- Mutually supportive peer group
- Public online exhibition
- Seminars with established art world professionals
- Progression onto GALLERY SECTOR (PG4)
