E

mphasizing practice over theory, the program introduces you to a series of foundational tools, skills and concepts of art history, art business and art law. Through a combination of coursework, workshops, guest presentations, domestic and international site visits and internships you are given the means to build your professional infrastructure. The practical skills and conceptual frameworks learned at Christie’s Education serve our graduates well as they embark on diverse and meaningful careers throughout the art market ecosystem. The core pedagogical strategy of the program is based on the premise that utilizing the lenses of commerce, law and history to view art and the art market will serve to enhance our understanding of how the global art market functions. Through this non-traditional approach to the study and examination of art and art markets, you will develop rare insights into the dynamics that influence the markets. Our program goal is to produce graduates who are conversant in the languages of art and commerce and who have the necessary transferable skills to make a smooth transition into the global art world. With unparalleled access to art market specialists and professionals you will learn from, and interface with, the current leading practitioners in the art market today. As part of the curriculum, you will travel to domestic and international art destinations to meet with a diverse range of professionals working across the art market landscape. During the program we visit art fairs, museums, art business conferences, galleries, art advisories, art logistics businesses and art insurance firms. Over 15 months of intensive study, you will take a combined 40 credits to complete your degree. The program concludes with a final term that is exclusively focused on a full-time internship and an independent capstone project that are both instrumental in helping you to activate your professional careers in the art market.
