Testimonials from Students and Professionals

“It's a very unique experience, very new.”

“I am taking The Contemporary Art Market and Re-mixing the Prado Museum courses. It's been great. We've been to a lot of art galleries, we've learned about auctions, how galleries work [...] In Re-mixing the Prado Museum we've taught at the Prado Museum. Not a lot of people can say they drew in the Prado for an entire month, every day, and it was so cool to see all these paintings up close and feel like a personal connection with these painters.”

“I'm doing two courses: Contemporary Art Market and Drawing at the Prado Museum.

I'm learning a lot in the art market course, visiting the galleries [...] and getting to know the contemporary art scene in Madrid in a very different way, and I'm learning a lot from both [...] That of being drawing in the Prado Museum is unparalleled.” ”

“I feel like I had a very Good experience”

“I’ve taken the contemporary art market course. We got to see a lot of galleries, private collections, which was a very new experience for me. I’m from Orlando and there are museums but on a day-to-day basis there are not that many galleries or international artists, so I feel that Madrid is different in that aspect. There is a lot of variety, a lot of new technology and a lot of cutting edge types of art.
In the course I feel that I’ve learned about the market itself. I feel that I’ve got a new perspective. That I wouldn’t be able to completely understand as an artist. ”

“I am confident that, through Nebrija Arts and Humanities Institute, students, artists, and amateurs like me broadly fascinated in Art & Humanities, will enjoy a lifelong learning experience.

Nebrija Arts and Humanities Institute will provide a fast track along which to learn how to look at art and understand how it contributes to create a better future.

I fell under Pablo Alvarez de Toledo´s captivating spell while in Madrid and will be his admirer from that day forward.

As a professional academic myself, I enthusiastically endorse his inspiring vision and critical analyses.”

“Nebrija Arts and Humanities Institute was such a fabulous experience for our daughter and I can’t recommend it enough!

We were hoping for a program where our daughter could improve her skills and learn something about Spanish art and art history but this program turned out to be all that so much more.

Our daughter Laney was afforded the opportunity to improve her technique by direct study of the works of the great masters and she brought home some impressive work inspired by the great art she was exposed to on a daily basis.

Also, I can’t say enough about how talented the teachers were as well. They are all accomplished artists and very skilled at bringing out the best in young people and nurturing their talents.

Of particular importance to us, they were also very good at keeping us in the loop. We really enjoyed the daily photo communications showing our young artist’s adventures and progress in incomparably beautiful museum settings.

Simply put, we were blown away by the depth of the program and how much they managed to teach our daughter in a few weeks.

She had a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we are so glad we found this program.”

“As we look at the world around us, one thing I am very sure of is that the world needs more creativity, more understanding of art and more support in these fields.


Starting this process with young lives is perhaps the greatest priority. I can see that with Nebrija Arts and Humanities Institute, students will have a unique opportunity to foster their creativity, discover the greatest artists of Western Art at the Prado Museum and also enjoy one of Europe’s most vibrant capital cities, the fantastic city of Madrid. ”

“As the mother of a student who attended a summer course organized by Nebrija Arts and Humanities Institute, I was very impressed by the practical and experiential methodology used to teach young people.

For example, the teachers take the students to the Prado Museum to draw, where they learn to look at and appreciate the works of the great masters through drawing. They also visit contemporary artists' studios and art galleries in Madrid. The treatment is exquisite, the organization very professional. It was a unique and enriching experience for my daughter and I recommend it without a doubt.”
