From their first year of study, Bachelor in Art Market students draw on the experience and know-how of leading professionals in the sector, thanks to special meetings organized by our Art Market internship manager, Sylvana Lorenz.
Entering the professional world
What better way to step directly into the professional world of the art market and art trade than through the front door, by meeting its main players!
This is what Sylvana Lorenz offers, within the professional development service of IESA arts&culture, to first-year Art Market Bachelor students by opening her professional address book to them. In one semester, they were thus able to benefit from the insights of major players in the contemporary art market who came to meet them to talk about their careers but also about how this sector works and evolves.
The artists Fred Forest, an unavoidable figure in the links between contemporary art and new technologies, Marc Sanchez, director of artistic production at the Department of Artistic Creation of the Centre national des Arts plastiques (CNAP), Alain Reinaudo, contemporary art consultant and former advisor for visual arts and architecture at the Institut français, Claude Fain, founder of the Asian contemporary art fair in Paris Asia Now, and Arnaud Brument, contemporary art expert, particularly in the field of video, thus answered his invitation and met the first-year students.
This professional approach is a hallmark of the programs at IESA arts&culture, which integrate essential academic knowledge into a dynamic of skills acquisition. By meeting professionals who decode the art market sector, taking part in trips, completing internships that give them a better understanding of the professions, and organizing real projects that confront them with the reality of artistic and cultural businesses, students enter the world of art trade and the art market from their first year of study.
