IESA students were able to discover, exclusively and before opening to the public, the Pavilion of Arts and Design, the fair specializing in 20th-century decorative arts and design.

For many years, Art Market program students have taken part in the PAD Paris appraisal committee (Pavillon des Arts et du Design). On Monday, March 14, 2013, about fifteen students had the opportunity to follow this committee to validate the authenticity and quality of the objects presented at this fair.

A Morning Devoted to Art Appraisal

This appraisal morning allowed students to train their eye, develop their art appraisal skills, be in direct contact with renowned experts and a carefully chosen selection of design objects. It was also an opportunity for students to build up the address books that are essential for their search for internships and jobs, or to receive valuable help with their theses.

Our Students Interning at PAD

For the occasion, art market students did internships in design galleries and are present at PAD: Florian Liberal (Professional Master in Art Market) for the Pascal Cuisinier gallery, Marine Gohard (Master in Contemporary Art) for Galerie Downtown and Clarisse Florio for the Franck Laigneau gallery. Franck Ferreira Da Silva, a former Professional Master in Art Market student, is also present at PAD and works for the Alain Marcelpoil gallery.
