Is this course for me?
We have a broad and diverse set of students taking these courses in terms of geography, age and professional backgrounds. Based on our experience so far, the courses have attracted non-art market professionals that are looking to explore opportunities in the art market or the broader art industry - and are looking for tools to help them navigate and better understand where these opportunities might exist, and how their own interest and professional background could fit in. At the other end, we also have seen a strong interest from the art trade who are looking at exploring more quantitative and data-driven methods for their own business and to meet the demand for an increasingly data-hungry client base. However, if you have any questions, please contact us and we can set up a call to discuss what course option might be the best for you.
