Tours | Art World 360 | Courses

Though I have taken Glen’s courses as a student, and then lectured for him for the last 7 years, I am still constantly surprised and impressed by his connections within the art world and his ability to provide training and education from specialists and experts right across the board. His professionalism and congeniality always make it a real pleasure to work with him.

The years working with Glen to deliver the acclaimed Christie's Wine Education program were some of the most enjoyable of my career. Always efficient, constructive and supportive, Glen was an ideal collaborative working partner. And fun!

I would like to thank Glen and Aliki very much for the wonderful Roman art tour. It was an excellent experience for me, like that one of Florence of few weeks ago.

I have appreciated the Art tour program , that wisely put in evidence the key artistic features of the 3 times millenarian history of Rome as well as the friendly and warm group spirit , that Glen and Aliki were able to create .

Their high capacity to convey the key messages to better understand the meaning of the various works of art allowed all the participants to enjoy the beauty of magical places like the Pantheon, the Vatican Museum, the Farnesina, the Galleria Doria Pamphili , the Villa Borghese.

Having worked with Glen over a number of years at Christie’s Education, organising courses and sessions on collecting, I fully understand his commitment to providing accessible and up-to-date educational resources to a varied audience. His supportive and kind nature also make him an absolute joy to work with, and his open-minded approach is incredibly refreshing! Anyone signing up to one of his courses will definitely find it both enjoyable and incredibly interesting!

I met with Glen a few years ago when I was attending an Art Business: Up-to-the-Minute short course, organised by Christie's Education. Even though Glen was a Programme Director of the course I immediately felt welcomed at one of the oldest auction houses and found him very approachable, extremely knowledgeable and easy to connect with. Glen has a unique quality that makes people feel valued, respected and heard no matter who they are and where they come from. In my case, I was still working at the BBC World Service producing video news and contemplating of changing my career but feared it probably was too late for me starting something completely new in my forties. But after talking with Glen over a coffee (to be honest, in my industry it was nearly impossible to go for a coffee with someone from the top) about his own experiences living in different countries, achieving success by constantly learning something new, it inspired me to listen to my instincts and not being afraid to start a new career. I decided to leave the BBC, after working there for 18 years, and go back to study, and of course I chose Christie's Education. I'm currently studying a year-long Art Career Project course, organised by Glen and his team. I consider Glen as my mentor, he supported me all the way, guided me in my studies and helped me to connect with people from the art world.

At the centre of the art world there are, of course, artists and works of art. But without the intermediation of connoisseurs, scholars and specialists both artists and works of art would remain quite unaccessible. To create the environment where meaningful intermediations can take place you need professionals who understand both the production and the fruition of the arts. In this regard, Glen Hardwick-Bruce is one of the most talented and effective specialists I have ever had the chance to collaborate with. His capacity for mediating between all the different participants of the art world is exceptional and his decades-long expertise and devotion to the arts has proven a real asset to those of us who have collaborated with Glen over the years. As a lecturer I have had the opportunity to work with Glen in designing and delivering learning experiences that have always proven to be of high quality and of great value for all parties involved. With professionals like Glen the art world is a more accessible and rich environment.

"We asked Art World Advisory Group to organize a 3-day session of lectures and visits to the Venice Biennale for the Art Market and Asset Management Executive Master's program at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL. The choice of speakers, the management of group movements, the alternation between formal lectures and field visits, and the management of time during the day were all really optimal. The group of fifteen art asset management professionals came away delighted with the 3 days of training. Many thanks to Art World Advisory Group."
