Curating Now will focus on four themes: Curating with Historical Collections, Curating in a Global Market, Curating in Partnerships and Collaborations and Curating Experience. This course is ideal for curators at an early to mid-stage of their careers and for those who are considering a curating career in galleries and museums.
