Why did you choose our school?
After my Bac L, I chose to join IESA arts&culture because I appreciated the balance between theoretical training ( Bachelor in Art Expertise and Art Trade ), the numerous internships that let you quickly experience concrete situations, the multiplicity of art professions the school gives access to, and finally the international dimension.
Why did you want to go and work abroad?
I had already gone to Shanghai, China, last year to work in a Chinese contemporary art gallery and I had really liked Asia. Having had this opportunity, I decided to go back and settle in Singapore.
Can you briefly introduce your organization?
Sana Gallery is the first Middle Eastern contemporary art gallery in Southeast Asia. We opened on November 1 and there are 3 of us: Assaad Razzouk (Owner), Athina Boardman (Commercial Director), and me (Gallery Manager)
My current role as manager is to run the gallery day to day, maintain our relationships with the press and our clients, and choose the artists with the rest of the team.
What can you advise a student to do to succeed in entering the job market?
I think going abroad is very important and also highly valued by companies. That is at least what I felt during my job search.
