ART WORLD IMMERSION

Summer Sotheby’s Institute of Art courses offer interesting and compelling insights into the art world and include lectures and seminars led by Sotheby’s Institute of Art faculty, international experts and leading practitioners in the field. Visits to major collections in London’s museums, auction houses, artists’ studios and royal palaces allow each participant to develop a deeper understanding of the art. Two four-week sessions offer opportunities for early or late summer study.

The Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London is located in beautiful Bloomsbury on Bedford Square, the best preserved area of Georgian architecture in London. The Institute is minutes from the British Museum, the Sotheby’s auction house and the National Gallery, all of which are utilized in the summer courses. The rigorous and intensive summer courses typically meet for at least 96 hours over the course of the four study weeks. Sotheby’s Institute of Art provides a Certificate of Completion after the program. Official transcripts are available if requested from the University of Manchester, the Sotheby’s Institute of Art School of Record.
