The Trainee Collectors Group
Open to members of the friend’s association, the Trainee Collectors Group is an informal circle which brings members closer to the workings of the contemporary art world. Lasting four years, the programme allows you to discover new artists, gallery owners, art critics, and independent curators, as well as taking part in regional, national, and international events such as exhibitions, art fairs and biennales. Under the expert supervision of Emily Flory, curator and art critic, the Trainee Collectors Group meet up regularly to discuss, choose and acquire works of art on a non-professional basis. Currently a unique initiative from a public body, this experimental programme allows the members access to expert advice, with the idea that art should be made accessible to everyone.
