Aimed at empowering collectors of all levels—from novices to veterans—with the knowledge and tools to effectively manage and enrich their collections, 21st Century Collecting is a three-day course crammed full of experiences and encounters in the art world. The course is designed to transform the often overwhelming responsibilities of collecting into an enriching and enjoyable journey. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting out, this course provides invaluable insights and practical advice to enhance your collecting experience.

Led by Georgia Powell, co-founder of CURA Art, 21st Century Collecting offers participants a unique opportunity to learn directly from experts in the field in an intense series of studio and gallery visits and lectures, held over three days. The course covers essential aspects of collecting, such as how to document, manage, and ensure a legacy for your collection. Sessions are interactive, featuring real-life case studies and practical tips that can be directly applied to any collection. Powell's extensive experience in conservation, museum studies, and art curation, combined with her passion for promoting the role of private collectors, ensures a rich and insightful educational experience. Her connections across the art world will ensure you get unparalleled access as you meet artists and curators across up to ten London studios and contemporary art galleries.

Lectures emphasise the evolving role of the collector in the broader art ecosystem. Topics include strategic acquisition focusing on under-represented artists and the importance of patronage in sustaining the arts. Participants will explore how to build meaningful relationships with artists and specialists, and how to navigate the complexities of the art market. Through these discussions, collectors are positioned not just as owners but as crucial supporters and custodians of art, fostering a sense of responsibility and contribution to cultural heritage and creativity.
