The Arts Institute is the public art & research department of the Institute of Idle Curiosity for Elements of Seduction. It houses the Department of Critical Theory, the Art Archives and the AnteRoom (the art gallery). The Arts Institute has also two satellite departments: The Happening Hotel and The Mono Theatre.

The Arts Institute publishes the journal M..E..T..A..S..P..E..C..T (www.metaspect.org). The journal gives an overview of the activities of the Institute of Idle Curiosity for Elements of Seduction, including those of the departments not accessible to the public.
