Quick Facts Established, Location ...

In 1994, Saskia Bos established an intensive course, called 'The Curatorial Programme'.[3] Over a period of eight months a selective group of five to six people are trained to become a curator. At the end of 2012, former director Ann Demeester [nl] initiated a new professional development programme in collaboration with The Fair Gallery: the Gallerist programme. This programme was the first practice-oriented educational course for (aspiring) gallery owners and (young) art professionals who wanted to deepen their curatorial and business competencies in the commercial segment of the art world.[4]

In 2023 Lara Khaldi was appointed director.[5]
