FIRST WORDS ABOUT THE COURSE
Visiting a museum or an art gallery is an activity that most people have experienced at least once in their lifetime. In these environments, there is a permanent cultural dialogue about art, based on each exhibition.
The exhibition of a work of art is an activity that requires care and hard work. Working with art requires a very extensive knowledge of management, logistics and preservation actions.

When the public visits an exhibition, he can certainly ignore all the work that anticipates what he is being invited to see.
The viewer does not need to know the insurance value paid on a work of art that left America for an exhibition in Europe, nor understand how each painting or sculpture was chosen to be there. This knowledge is the responsibility of those who curate and organize an exhibition. It is this person – or more generally a group of people – who must have knowledge of each stage of the exhibition process, from beginning to end.
We talk about museums and galleries when we think about exhibition, because traditionally they are the places associated to this kind of activity. However, as you will be able to verify during our course, the semantic and aesthetic boundaries are questioned today. We can even consider the internet as an exhibition space.
The Art curating certified online course will systematize all the steps and processes necessary to set up exhibitions.
