Artour experiences are sealed by the so-called “Artour essence” and is comprised of two elements with the objective of inspiring Artourians and widening their horizons:
The Satellite Experiences aim to widen the horizons of the Artourians beyond fine art by enriching their experiences in the fields of innovation/ technology, music, creativity, nature, cuisine/culinary lab, dance/theatre, and iconic brands, by learning ‘the story behind the story.’
The Core Program focuses on art experiences and aims to provide Artourians with an understanding of the key players in the art world and its dynamics in innovative and fun ways, thanks to exclusive access to these players. It comprises diving into the world of art galleries, artists’ studios, museums, auction houses, and much more.
