The 5th edition of the Summer Course will focus on ‘The Age of Bruegel in Context’. It will be held from June 23 until July 3, 2019. Excursions will be made to Antwerp, Bruges, Genk, Leuven, Mechelen and Brussels. We are also planning a trip to Paris. The language of the Summer Course is English.
Participants have a master's degree or are PhD student, junior curator or restorer and they are specialised in (art in the age of) Bruegel. The master's degree was earned maximum 10 years ago.
The participation fee of the Summer Course is fixed at €1089 per person. The fee includes the full 11-day programme, 10 overnight hotel stays in a single-occupancy room, all transportation within the programme, all entry tickets, two receptions, five lunches and five dinners. Not included in the participation fee is the transport to and from Belgium.
To facilitate students with limited financial means, the organisation of the Summer Course for the Study of the Arts in Flanders has made available two grants of €544,5 each. The recipients of the grant will pay a reduced participation fee of €544,5 instead of the regular fee.
Thanks to the generous support of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation's History of Art Grants Program two US students and citizens are offered a grant that will fully cover the programme fee and round trip flights between Belgium and the US.
It is no longer possibly to apply for this Summer Course.
