An extremely interesting picture has emerged, describing a strongly growing field, for which the Fondazione CRT approved a Development Project to accomplish the following goals in 2007: a) a)institution of 20 apprenticeship funds of 1-2 years for the training of young graduates to be introduced to these Professions, with a strong possibility to be hired afterwards; b) creation, in collaboration with Finpiemonte, of the “Industrial Pole of Development of Future Professions for Contemporary Art”, consisting of about 15,000 square meters, to be unveiled at Artissima 2008, where a set of about 10 Professions will be grouped, where common laboratories will be supplied with specialist tools (such ad lasers, etc.), with an Archive, a Showroom, Didactic activities, Guestrooms for the artists who will come to follow the production of their works, etc; c) Implementation of Promotion and Marketing Services, in collaboration with Turin Chamber of Commerce, to coordinate other Institutions (Unione Industriale, API, Craftsmen’s and Professional Associations) through a Catalog, a Website and the participation to fairs, for the attraction of work orders for the Pole from Italy and abroad; d) Extension of the Research to the Activities of the various Trade Associations and for a deeper inquiry concerning the Piedmont territory.
