Magasin III has held artist talks, lectures, and panel discussions in relation to ongoing exhibitions. This program was intensified in 2006 with the creation of a new lobby, offering a purpose-built space for sit down gatherings. Many of these evenings were recorded and are available under Play.

Magasin III has cultivated a close relationship with academic institutions and students, as the preeminent force behind establishing the International Master’s Program in 2003 at the University of Stockholm, then one of the first curatorial study programs in Scandinavia. Over the course of the following decades, the academic program has touched on student’s hands-on experience regarding curatorial practices, including intellectual endeavors involving curatorial thought and practice, the handling of and caring for artworks, economic and legal factors involved with exhibition making. The Master’s Program graduating classes have provided a number of personnel to Magasin III as well as several federal, local and private institutions in Sweden and abroad.

2020–2024 saw Magasin III’s program activities and collaborations with art colleges, universities and preparatory art schools intensify, creating a dialogue and making art and the institution even more accessible. Each unique alliance was formed in close dialogue with the teachers and professors as a complement to their existing educational plan. Magasin III has been generous with its artistic wealth as the custodian of an extremely vast and unique art collection and archival material spanning over thirty years. As a place and resource for any number of students and academics the museum has provided an alternative outlook to the art of the responsibility of collecting, not only to the work but to an artist’s oeuvre and maintained itself as a non-judgmental artistic and theoretical space for further examination and analysis.
