CURA Art collaborates with Christie’s Education
We recently collaborated with Christie’s Education to organise and host a course on the role of the collector and the responsibilities and possibilities that surround the role.
Whether you’re an experienced collector or just starting out, the responsibilities associated with owning art and other precious objects can often seem overwhelming.
With guidance, collecting can be an incredibly fulfilling experience, that turns passion and interest into a rewarding journey. Instead of responsibilities associated with collecting, this course will encourage you to think instead of the possibilities and joy that comes with interacting with art and objects in your possession.
In this course, you will learn from collectors themselves, as well as artists and specialists in the field. Topics such as ensuring a legacy for your collection through appropriate documentation and research will be covered, as well as guidance surrounding access to your collection through loans and other initiatives. Real-life case studies, and practical sessions will encourage you to join in, and leave you with top tips that can be applied to your own experience.
You will leave the course feeling inspired and informed, with helpful tips and advice that can be utilised throughout your collecting journey. You will be able to confidently navigate the logistics of owning a collection, and know the right questions to ask and processes to follow in the future. You will understand the broader possibilities surrounding owning art, and the fruitful relationships can that be forged with creatives and other key players.
