Worldwide Art Department Masterclass

April 23, 2026

For the love of filming a team of Art Department professionals built an educational platform for other filmmakers of the Art Department: the Art Department Masterclass.

This year you can apply to an international Art Department Masterclass in Turin, Italy(June 12-17) or in Vilnius, Lithuania (November 5-10). You can expect case studies & lectures as well as practical workshops: "Intensive 6-days-long training sessions designed to sharpen your skills, spark new ideas, and connect you with the global community redefining what's possible in art department."

Probably the most important might be the chance to network with over 30 speakers over around 70 panels, but especially with your colleagues from all over the world. Find the programme here or pictures from past events.

To apply use this link. Due date for the application is April 30!

For the "Worldbuilding" Masterclass in Turin, Italy, several Art Department professionals are confirmed to share insights:

Italian Production Designer & Primetime Emmy Winner Ludovica Ferraria; Dune's Canadian Production Designer Patrice Vermette; ECOPROD award winner and Production Designer specialised in green filming Valérie Valero; Queen's Gambit Production Designer Uli Hanisch; 2017/18 Alumni Tim Tamke will share his experiences and work.
