The
Curator-Artist
Approach

Maybe you still wonder:

what is the difference between this programme and others?

The massive difference is that while other programmes are taught by artists or traditional coaches (mostly studied psychologists or counsellors) who might not have experience in the arts, THIS programme takes as its base the curatorial expertise. This means that together, we discuss the quality of your work, its power to transport your creative message and the steps that are needed to thrive in a competitive art world. This gives you the advantage of touching base with someone who has been choosing works for exhibitions for the past 6 years!

If you complete the assigned tasks within the 10-week time frame,  you should expect to have clarity and direction about your creative path as well as a website, a professional portfolio and a statement by the end of the programme.
