Course Summary

Learn to develop innovative curatorial proposals with London-based arts organisations

Join a well-established and influential community of students actively contributing to how curating is understood, practised and thought about globally. We are a highly international programme designed to develop your critical awareness of curating in a global context. We place real importance on working collaboratively to share knowledge and culture, and test ideas.

When you graduate, you will join a network of over 500 CCA alumni from across 47 countries, many still working together, collectively shaping the practice of curating contemporary art and the spaces and places it is encountered.
