The two- year curatorial studies program is a joint venture of the Kibutzim College of Education and the Center for Contemporary Art. The program, which is the most comprehensive in the field in Israel, is designed to train creative professionals with critical thought and a broad cultural vision. It is for BA graduates with a background in the fields of Art and Culture.
The program holds an educational Gallery in the CCA in Tel Aviv, which hosts exhibitions curated by the students. These exhibitions are the result of an intensive learning process, during which they are exposed to the major issues and trends of contemporary curating. Throughout their studies the students meet curators, artists, museum professionals and theoreticians, who are key figures in the local and international art world. Thus they are introduced to the art scene in its various forms, and begin to develop contacts that may lead to future co operations.
Among the program’s lecturers in the past were: Tammy Katz Friman, Dr. Ayelet Zohar, Dr.Haim Lusky, Tal Ben Tzvi, Dr. Hadara Shaflan, Dr. Tamar Berger and more.
