The core of the programme is six weeks spent living in Venice with 30-40 like-minded individuals. The group stays in a hotel in the centre of the city, ten minutes walk from our lecture centre. There are lectures and classes, plus visits to places of cultural and historic interest. Add to this, optional cookery, life drawing, photography and language classes. No previous knowledge or experience is required.
Since 1965 over 3000 students have taken part in our course. Our alumni work in the arts sector, at museums, newspapers, galleries and auction houses but also in every other area, from the judiciary, politics, education, science and every other field. We organise reunions each year which have proved to be very popular, whether in Venice or London. Our alumni page lists every student plus a descrption of the lectures and topics.
