about
Built on the rock of Monaco, overlooking the Mediterranean, the Bosio Pavillion has experienced different transformations before establishing its current identity. First a drawing school and then school of fine arts, it has been a Higher School of Visual Arts (ESAP), awarding a Master’s level National Diploma in Visual Arts and a National Higher Diploma in Visual Expression.
The specific nature of the existing curriculum at the Bosio Pavillion is to transmit a multipurpose training in art and set design to its students, and to equip them with the tools allowing them to transpose their personal research to both stage and exhibition spaces. With the affirmed will of developing a studio pedagogy and externalizing modes of operation, the school regularly participates in partner projects and has also initiated the Workshops for Research and Creation (ARC) that are organized in the form of a network.
Essential moments in a students path, these local and international collaborations associate at the same time museums, universities, art centers and theater and dance companies. More specifically, the cultural context of the Principality of Monaco offers an environment which is conducive to encounters with actors from the art world, such as the Monte-Carlo Ballet Company that each year welcomes students in prestigious conditions. Thus future creators are regularly confronted with the demands of professionalization through experiences of commissions that also contribute to the construction and extension of the pedagogy. Within this dynamic of exchanges, projects have the opportunity to take shape on a full scale, and a playground is created where theory is reinvented and deployed.

post-graduate
Pavillion Bosio postgraduate in art and set design
Set up in 2009, the ESAP postgraduate programme has the goal of inventing a framework conducive to the emergence of research in art and set design, as much from a practical as a theoretical point of view, and is open to various fields of investigation such as theater, dance, exhibition, installation and performance. In this context, the school offers the possibility of benefitting from the relationships that it enjoys with its larger partners, in addition to conventions for professional internships. It thus favors the connection of registered postgraduate students with its national and international networks, and in this way inscribes itself in a mission of accompanying its young graduates in their entrance into the professional world.
The programme’s pedagogy is founded on the dialogue between knowledge and skills, through local projects and ones further afield, by participating in the school’s pedagogical activities (seminars, conferences, lectures), through individual or collective meetings with teachers, and voyages. Students have access to the school’s infrastructures (spaces, computers and associated technology, tools for production etc.), and they can also benefit from a studio that has been made available to them by the Board of Cultural Affairs of Monaco (these studios are attributed after the examination of applications).
In addition, every year two students receive a research grant awarded by The Monaco Project for the Arts (MPA) associative organization. The MPA also organizes an exhibition in a contemporary art gallery in Monaco for one of the artists.
Candidates participating in the postgraduate programme must realize a theoretical production in the form of a publication in the pages of the Pavilion review and / or a visual production, in the form of a spectacle or exhibition hosted in one of the ESAP’s partner sites.
