CRAFTING your Artistic Experience in Venice

YOUR JOURNEY IS METICULOUSLY CRAFTED
The schedule, refined over years,seamlessly integrates lectures, curator meetings, dedicated project time, and museum visits with summer open-air dinners and leisurely walks. The outcome is a step-by-step blueprint to bring your dream project to life in 2024, all while maintaining momentum in your career.
THIS IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF NETWORK
Deep conversations with curators, artists, and organizers leave a mark on our students. Delve into the world of top galleries like Victoria Miro and cozy Venetian art spaces featuring special Biennale projects. Enjoy private tours at the main venues of Arsenale and Giardini. Have a private tour at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and off-the-record talk from the director of the Bel Air Fine Art gallery, representing Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst in Venice.
CONCRETE RESULTS AND STRUCTURED SUPPORT
During the two-week programme, you'll complete the ECA Workbook, refining the core elements of your project. With invaluable feedback from both peers and experts, you'll gain clarity, energy, and practical knowledge to successfully execute your project or chart the next step of your journey.
MEET YOUR COMMUNITY
Previous cohorts still have monthly Zooms, and the WhatsApp groups are buzzing months later. The program led to the creation of two residencies, multiple group exhibitions, three collaborative workshops, and incredible friendships. It is a safe, inspiring, accepting environment. It gets emotional, allowing you to truly advance your work.
EXPERIENCE THE BEST OF CREATIVE VENICE
Go to the best spots in town - dine where gondoliers choose, with tables reserved in advance to skip the queues. Come to the favorite restaurant of Zaha Hadid architects or a bar designed by Philippe Starck. We’ll guide you through the best dishes on each menu. The experience culminates with a legendary boat ride across the Grand Canal.
