Contemporary Art Markets

The one-year Academic Master is an intensive study path directed at providing students with effective tools for the interpretation of art market dynamics, with particular focus on contemporary artistic languages. The first cycle of the programme is dedicated to classroom activities, workshops and visits to galleries, foundations and museums. The second is focused on internships, enabling students to experience different market areas first-hand, and on the final projects. Students will also attend study trips to Artissima in Turin and Art Basel, the sector’s most important fairs.

Over the AM, students will have the opportunity to:

• Understand the complex dynamics of the art market and of its players
• Acquire solid cultural, legal and economic knowledge of the art market
• Develop projects and acquire historical and critical analysis and specialised communication competencies, along with practical and management skill

NABA’s Career Services & Industry Relations Office can provide you with support and guidance during your transition from the academy to the professional world. Our staff can help you develop self-promotion tools and assist you during your first steps into the world of work.

The Office develops relationships with companies in order to set up internship agreements, employment opportunities, and interactive projects between students and businesses.

Students will undertake a minimum internship period of 200 hours, gaining hands-on experience at a gallery, auction house, art center, foundation, museum, private collection, publishing house, or art periodical.
