Coope­ra­tion

The Monte­pul­ciano College of the Arts is a co-opera­tion between the seven art and music colleges in the state of North Rhine-West­phalia. It enables students and teachers from the parti­ci­pa­ting univer­si­ties in Monte­pul­ciano to engage in inter­di­sci­pli­nary artistic work and rese­arch in order to open up new approa­ches to the arts.

The special working formats include the SummerLab and the Labo­ra­tory of the Arts with diffe­rent focal points in inter­di­sci­pli­nary colla­bo­ra­tion and subject-related specia­li­sa­tion. In addi­tion, students from all disci­plines can apply to work at Palazzo Ricci as part of the short resi­dency programme students in resi­dence. In addi­tion, the college enables students on artistic degree programmes to take part in an annual chamber music project.

As part of study projects, the univer­si­ties involved in the college also use the Palazzo Ricci for their own projects. Univer­sity classes and ensem­bles can work here with their lectu­rers in a special atmo­s­phere. Concerts or small exhi­bi­tions on site are also possible. For these projects, the Palazzo is gene­rally avail­able to coope­ra­ting univer­si­ties from April to June and from October to November. If you are inte­rested in using Palazzo Ricci as part of this co-opera­tion, please contact us using the contact form.

Parti­ci­pants in this unique “College of the Arts” are the Hoch­schule für Musik Detmold, the Robert Schu­mann Hoch­schule Düssel­dorf, the Folk­wang Univer­sity of the Arts Essen, the Hoch­schule für Musik und Tanz Köln, the Kunst­hoch­schule für Medien Köln, the Kunst­aka­demie Münster and the Kunst­aka­demie Düssel­dorf. Parti­ci­pa­tion in the College’s projects is reco­gnised as academic credit.
