RELEASE | Christie’s Education To Focus On Expansion Through Continuing Education And Digital Learning
London - As part of Christie’s ongoing commitment to reaching international audiences and following a business review, Christie’s Education will shift future focus to expand the scope and scale of activity in Continuing Education and Online Courses.
Following a consultation process, Christie’s will cease providing Higher Education courses in New York and London when current students complete their programmes. All relevant academic support will remain in place until the conclusion of the Higher Education courses underway to ensure students successfully complete their studies to the highest standard. Christie’s global alumni programme will continue.
The full roster of Online and Continuing Education options currently offered by Christie’s Education will continue as planned including the development of new courses and activities.
“Christie’s role in education remains a central tenet of our organisation and the future activities of Christie’s Education will play a meaningful part in this strategy”, commented Stephen Brooks, Deputy CEO, Christie’s.
Notes to Editors:
In recent years, Christie’s Education has significantly expanded its global portfolio with a broad range of art world courses offered in London, New York and Hong Kong and via digital learning.
During 2019, Christie’s Education took part in Art and Tech Summits in New York and Hong Kong and expanded its Continuing Education line-up with a series of Art and Tech courses. Art Business Education remains an integral part of the Christie’s continuing education provision.
In line with the growing Asian contemporary art market, Christie’s Education also offers a wide range of courses specialising in the major collecting categories of Japanese, Korean and Chinese art. In November 2020, the first international academic conference in Asia, The Chinese Art Market, will take place in Hong Kong in parallel with Christie’s Asia Week sales.
Christie’s Education also continues to expand the online learning experience. Recent additions to the offering have included a new course entitled Matisse to Magritte, Markets and Movements in Modern European Painting; History of Watches, 1700 – Now; and a self-directed learning option of Inside the Global Contemporary Art World.
A new online Watch course was added to the global portfolio of Jewellery and Watches courses.
