In Curating The Young you get this opportunity.

Exciting, but also a bit scary? Don’t panic! The team of AmuseeVous will guide you along the way. We make room for learning experiences, formation and peer-to-peer learning. Think of it as a growth process you can design and shape yourself, a place where we create a safe environment for you to experiment and thrive.
More specifically:
Curating the Young is a yearly learning process for people from the age of 18 to 26 who want to take their first steps in the cultural field by gaining hands-on experience. No theory, but learning by doing.
Each year we give a young team the opportunity to experience cultural activities from behind the scenes. We organise a variety of events throughout the year, going from exhibitions to art walks or art fairs. Everything is possible. You can shape the process yourself. We start off with a clean sheet and plan the year together.
We offer learning opportunities on different kind of domains:
- Artistic: selecting young talents and refreshing art, inventing innovative art events…
- Public mediation: making the connection between art and the public, brainstorming about activities for the public…
- Communications: designing on- and offline promo-activities, recruiting new artists and public…
- Event management: location hunting, developing logistic and practical skills…
- Sales: finding ways to support starting artists, looking for interesting collaborations…
- The possibilities are endless
Curating The Young is there for everyone regardless of prior knowledge, gender identity, sexual orientation, (ethnic-cultural) background, religion, disability or health condition.
I’m in!
