European Cultural Academy - Contemporary Art, Architecture & Design Courses
Courses / Programs
Established in three historic palaces in Venice, the Academy offers short art and architecture courses for professionals, students, and art lovers. We believe in the power of education to help people thrive creatively and professionally. We would like to show that there are many ways to succeed in the art industry. Join our programs created in collaboration with the Venice Biennale, the University of Oxford, and other prestigious institutions.
We offer our students a unique perspective on the city of Venice thanks to our network of professionals (architects, designers, artists, gallerists, and La Biennale di Venezia team), we guide them in discovering the hidden gems of the city and give them access to the most exclusive art shows and events.
The International Summer Academy for Fine Arts and Media in Venice is a combination of academic studies and an open academy. The courses are offered for students of universities as well as for applicants without training in art.
In this way, it combines advanced level with open accessibility. Courses take place parallel to the Venice Biennales, which also influence the program. The uniqueness of the summer academy in Venice is the concept of small, specialized classes with the possibility to combine them. All courses include a training module for beginners providing techniques and skills with most recent didactic methods.
The fact that the art studios, the accommodation and the meals are all located in the same building or nearby, contributes to a unique working environment at the Summer Academy.
Courses can be booked by weeks as well, but a far better profit is experienced when at least two or three weeks in continuity gives you the chance to apply and practice what you have learned. This is the best way to fully enjoy your art work. At the end of every week a curated show summarizes the work of all art-classes.
