Before I find out how to become a curator, I'd rather step back and explain who exactly a curator is and what they do! Don't sulk, I'll calmly tell you how to become one, but first, let's take a moment of clarity that never hurts! I assure you that I will be synthetic! I'm not going to go round and round! Knowing the basics, my dear, is always a good starting point! Keep in mind that the professional figure of the curator is responsible for the design and planning : exhibitions exhibition temporary installations. This would seem to be child's play, so called! "What does it take?" you might say among yourselves... Well, to tell the story of beauty by making it accessible to the general public is not at all simple! The art curator is the one who, attentive to details, attracted by aesthetics and criticism, connects the work and the public; is the person who prepares the key to reading the works exhibited! It is precisely for this reason that this person plays a role of great responsibility and carries out a series of tasks. In particular, the art curator : manages the staff who work at different times during the event decides on the works of the exhibition checks and prepares the budget for the event oversee the preparation and arrangement of the content of the work organises internal exhibition spaces. It is always: identifying the location creating brochures and catalogues planning advertising campaigns to promote the event completing the bureaucratic and administrative process of setting up and running the exhibition managing relations with sponsors and sponsoring organisations.

What knowledge does an exhibition curator need to have? The art curator, as you have noticed, has many responsibilities, the first one is: to make the exhibition event a success! Whoever organises the event has to make sure that their idea reaches the public through the artists' ideas. The main responsibility of the exhibition curator is to succeed in telling, disseminating and sharing the art! And he can do this by working in museums, galleries, cultural institutions and foundations or as a freelancer. Travelling, studying (raised to the third level), deepening, visiting, getting to know and planning are the basic activities of the curator's work!
