Cultural and Artistic Exchange
We are all about events that allow people to experience other cultures, art forms, and insights from others working in the Arts. So much inspiration is to be gained from speaking to and experience the excellence of those in similar or completely different artistic disciplines.
Events
TIAC periodically hosts events at our Florence, Italy studio - ranging from cultural exchanges to more formal seminars and talks.
One recent notable event hosted by TIAC was Art World Forum 2017, with the theme of "Artists Take the Lead"
In association with TIAC, Art World Forum, an emerging global platform which aims to build valuable networks between art professionals and business leaders, presented ‘Artists Take the Lead’, a series of conferences to discuss current issues and lead positive change in the global artistic and cultural ecosystem aimed to inspire and encourage change within the artistic industry.

Exchange Student Services
One of the most important projects supported and hosted by TIAC is Turandot Art Studio, an educational program dedicated to the Chinese students coming to study in Italy through the Turandot and the Marco Polo programs.
The aim of the studio is to expand the knowledge of the Chinese students through courses focused on the preparation required to pass the tests to access the Italian educational system such as language, art history, and portfolio preparation.
We currently provide university preparation courses in Fine Arts, Design and we also assist in portfolio development.
Meet a few of the Turandot Teachers in recent blog interviews:
