IED Milano introduces a new three-year degree in Communication and Valorization of Contemporary Artistic Heritage (starting October, with a scholarship mentored by Laudomia Pucci) and a Master in Fashion Curation coordinated by Dobrila Denegri with Kaat Debo as mentor. The Comune di Milano seeks eight full-time librarians (€21,392.87 annual salary) for permanent positions. TMLAB, co-funded by Creative Europe, offers a €3,000 grant for emerging curators residing in Italy to develop practices and curate a showcase at C2C Festival in Turin in November. Diriyah Art Futures in Saudi Arabia opens applications for its second Emerging New Media Artists program (October 2025 start), supporting under-35 digital artists with access to cutting-edge technology and mentorship, in collaboration with Le Fresnoy.
