Program description
The aim of the three-year course in Arts Curating is to educate future artistic professionals table to work in the cultural field of a given project, supplying course participants with the tools to contextualise critical works, supported by a deep historical vision projected to the future. The market is currently demanding for more and more cultural experts endowed with specific art competences and prepared to work in the field of ‘interdisciplinarity’; that implies all those subjects belonging to the culture of a contemporary project, together with the ability to translate the multitude of contemporary artistic practices.
The course aims to supply students with a historical and critical methodology to allow them to interpret and analyse works of art, through the contextualisation and the interpretation of their languages and implicit contents. Students learn how to communicate acquired notions and their own projects both in an academic manner (oral and written), addressing a mainstream audience, and more specifically, addressing an audience of art experts. Cultural management is useful to identify the most suitable methods to be able to plan and manage of a cultural project in todays contemporary contexts.

About the university
In 1935, Milanese tailor Giulio Marangoni established Istituto, which by 1942 had evolved into the Scuola Professionale Artistica. While the school's focus was initially on educating pattern makers and seamstresses, it shifted to fashion design, product development, and marketing in the 1970s and 1980s.
The Istituto Marangoni is an exclusive fashion and design institute in Italy.
Milan, in Lombardy, is the institute's headquarters; it also has outposts in Florence, London, Paris, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Mumbai and Miami.
The university has partnerships with more than 4,500 global brands and businesses, giving students and alums access to a wealth of resources and opportunities. As a result of the school's close relationships with businesses on a worldwide and local scale, it is able to help current students and alums map out a career path that is tailored to their specific interests and aspirations within the fields of management and business.
Istituto Marangoni's Italia campuses teaches all of the Institute's core curricula:
- Fashion Courses
- Design Courses
- Art courses
Career services help students connect with possible employers, make business connections, and get internship experience.
By the time they graduate, practically all students have designed multiple collections for the Milan Fashion Show. Students visit profile displays, trading floors, presentations, and podium demonstrations as part of the curriculum.
