Pavillon Bosio

Located in the very heart, in the prestigious setting of the “Rocher” of the Principality of Monaco, the fine art school Ecole Supérieure d’Arts Plastiques de la Ville de Monaco - Pavillon Bosio has for the past ten years focused on stage and exhibition design, where space and its multiple variations are the student's artistic playground.

The specificity of the courses provided is to give a skilful training in art & scenography and to produce original material that will later be transposed on to the stage or to an exhibition area.

The original teaching method is based on a collaborative and cross-disciplinary approach. For this purpose, the school regularly takes part in associated projects. These various partnerships are developed in conjunction with universities and fine art schools, but also with public or private institutions such as museums, art centers, dance companies and theatres.

Moreover, the cultural context of the Principality of Monaco provides an excellent framework for these encounters with the major actors of the art world.

For instance, the Monte-Carlo Ballet Company offers the school's young stage designers the opportunity to produce an annual event alongside its dancers and young choreographers. This experimental meeting creates an essential chemistry for stage and choreographic expression.

Carried by the same momentum, the Printemps des Arts also invites the students to contribute an artistically fresh view of the musical festival itself, by designing exhibition areas to enhance the spirit of this annual show.

The school is also linked to the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco (NMNM), whose collection, partly dedicated to the performing arts, represents a great resource and information source. The museum also regularly calls on students to use the exhibitions sets, either as cultural mediators or for exhibition installations.

Over the years, the school has presented new and stimulating exchanges.

The addition of innovative tuition and famous partnerships constitutes the knowledge and competence of the future artists and stage designers.

Stage Design

Creation no longer separates text, dramaturgy, space and set layout. Stage design teaching is all these elements together and therefore the school's projects expand to various levels, transforming drawings and stage models into shows and performances.

Exhibition Design

Exhibition design implies an acute understanding of space, a great knowledge of the required technical skills and construction materials, and an intelligent approach to artwork exposition. Bringing together artwork and space, from the point of view of the audience, and making these three elements blend perfectly is the object of scenography.
