his exhibition has been jointly curated by students on the MA\u00a0Curating the Art Museum\u00a0<\/em>course at The Courtauld Institute of Art.\u00a0<\/strong>The programme, now in its second year, is led by Martin Caiger-Smith and is aimed at art curators of the future. The exhibition project is the culmination of the practical side of this twelve-month course. The eleven students, from the UK, Europe and the United States, were asked to mount a public exhibition in the Embankment Galleries at Somerset House, taking responsibility for everything from the initial selection of works to designing, lighting and managing the gallery space. After exploring the collections of The Courtauld Gallery and Arts Council Collection, the students arrived at the idea of an exhibition on the theme of storytelling, which is realised here as\u00a0Once Upon a Time\u2026 Artists & Storytelling.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
