Next Session: Friday, 28 April - Thursday, 1 June 2023
ART COLLECTING NOW
Enter the world of art collecting with tutors involved in the art world's leading institutions.

THE COURSE
Our tutors have extensive experience buying art for themselves and on behalf of renowned institutions such as Tate, the National Portrait Gallery in London, and the Cisneros Collection, among others.
You will walk away from this course with the answers to most questions about art collecting, how to buy, who is who, alternative ways to get involved in the art world you did not know about, and a more realistic view of art investment.
The course is mostly asynchronous, allowing you to engage with the content at your own pace and regardless of your time zone, participate in tutor-led group discussions, and attend live sessions with international participants and special guests. You will also have access to readings, a workbook, and much more.
Join us on the exciting adventure of collecting art and getting involved in the art world. Welcome!
