As the birthplace of the Renaissance and the birthplace and hometown of many of the most celebrated artists, Florence is the ideal place of study for any individual desiring a career within the art sector, from art dealers and art editors to art marketers and communication consultants.

In addition to serving as the site of creation of countless masterpieces, Florence was also the centre of powerful art commissioners, buyers and sellers, and the great scholars and dealers of the nineteenth
century whom left an inestimable legacy to the connoisseurs and dealers of today.

The programme combines rigorous coursework taught by professional docents and valuable on-site learning opportunities, in order to distinguish students within the public, private and nonprofit arts environment. The school’s location, found in one of the most important art capitals of the world, serves as the base for the development of the programme, in which world renown museums and art shows are used as course material.

The well-structured programme involves an ideal mix of classroom and real world experience, allowing students to gain knowledge of the everyday functions of art related businesses. ESE’s Florence campus is partner with the Aria Art Gallery, giving students the daily opportunity to learn and grow within the field.
