Program 2023

The "International Summer Academy for Fine Arts and Media, Venice" is one of the largest and most dynamic summer academies in Europe with 14 master classes in the various arts and 100-150 participants. Based on 16 years of experience, we developed a new module, the "Advanced Studios program” for experienced artists.

The aim of this program is to be able to achieve a maximum potential for creative work through the development of a cooperative project with professors and experienced artists in an interdisciplinary composition.

Advanced Studio Program

Dares: 2. July – 16. July 2023

Program 2024

The International Summerschool of Fine Arts and Media | Venice is grounded in the tradition of Black Mountain College and Robert Wilson’s Watermill Center.

Our interdisciplinary approach welcomes students of all skill levels and backgrounds to our idyllic location in Venice, where the school was founded in 2003. The school partners with the Venice Biennale, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and Francois Pinault’s collection at the Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana.

Students enrolled in our summer art classes will find a global teaching staff, peers from more than 15 nations, and classes geared toward everyone from the complete beginner to the advanced career artist.

The courses are scheduled weekly, allowing students to immerse themselves in an interdisciplinary and creative environment. The master classes start on Monday and end on Sunday. Saturday evening is the exhibition of the work of the students curated by the teaching professors. 

In 2022 we will start a new model of organization.

As the International Summer Academy Venice has to facilitate high end art and innovative experimenting, the classes will be divided in 2 weeks of training and 2 weeks of innovative studios. During the first 2 weeks training in different art disciplines will be offered as it has been offered in the recent years. During the second 2 weeks artists will work in their own studios for individual or small group work. In order to support interdisciplinary work, we will invite a New Media expert to assist the project work during this time. Artist are welcomed to book a studio for their individual project work during one or two weeks.

Due to the 2 years corona interruption teaching professors might be subject to change.
