Arnaud Faure Beaulieu, Master's in Contemporary Art, no mad gallery
What did you do before joining IESA arts&culture?

After a bac ES (economics and social sciences baccalaureate) and although I was already very interested in the art world, I joined an IUT in Sceaux in the Hauts-de-Seine, where I earned a DUT in “Marketing Techniques.” I then continued with a bachelor’s degree in business/marketing, still at Université Paris Sud 11.

Why did you choose our school?

After my bachelor’s degree, wanting to adapt my business knowledge to the art world, I decided to join IESA’s Master in Contemporary Art in order to acquire specific knowledge of this market, enrich myself with concrete experience through internships, and build the beginnings of a network.

What did your art market program bring you?

The art world is a small circle in which you have to make your own place. With IESA, thanks to the many internships offered, I was quickly able to gain experience with many very distinct organizations (auction houses, galleries, exhibition curating, fair organization, etc.). I was also able to begin building a network (made up of professionals but also of students from the school).

What Is Your Job Today?

Today, I am working on creating my own organization, a nomadic-style contemporary art gallery offering an event-based exhibition concept. I also regularly collaborate with the Galerie Ron Mandos in Amsterdam. Finally, I am an artist in a production project with a major institution.
