IESA Students' Participation in Parcours des Mondes
Every year, students from all IESA arts&culture programs take part in Parcours des Mondes as part of the educational partnership the school has maintained for several years.
Each year, about twenty students from the Master Old Master Art, Master Contemporary Art and Bachelor Cultural Productions and Mediation programs at IESA arts&culture take part in Parcours des Mondes as part of the educational partnership the school has maintained for several years.
About ten students joined the organization, logistics, and mediation team of the prestigious international fair of non-Western art. Other students were in direct contact with the public and with French and international dealers in the galleries.
As the fair’s director, Liesbeth Vanmol, points out, they thus became "the face of the Parcours."
They were able to study exceptional pieces of non-Western art and pass on their knowledge to audiences of professionals and enthusiasts. They also received additional training in event organization, history of non-Western art, and cultural mediation. Taking part in this fair is an opportunity for students to build their professional network.
Many thanks to the fair’s director, Liesbeth Vanmol, to our professor, Anthony Meyer, and to the students who agreed to share their testimonials. Thanks to the whole Parcours des mondes team and to the gallery owners. IESA arts&culture is delighted to give its students the benefit of this exceptional concentration of arts and knowledge.
Finally, a nod to Pablo Touchaleaume, a former student and gallery owner of the Parcours who will soon join the school’s faculty to introduce 1st-year Bachelor Art Expertise and Trade students to the world of non-Western art.
