OPEN CALL: Full Spectrum Curatorship Programme 2026
Deadline: 1 July (23:59)
How do networks, algorithms, and digital technologies shape the ways art is curated, encountered, and shared?
IMPAKT [Centre for Media Culture] invites emerging and aspiring curators with an interest in media art, digital culture, and the intersection of technology and society to apply for the Full Spectrum Curatorship Programme.
Taking place in Utrecht from September to December 2026, the fourth edition of Full Spectrum combines collective sessions, personal mentorship, guest contributions, and peer exchange. Participants will be paired with curator mentors to develop a curatorial proposal and receive support in refining and positioning their ideas.

Ríos ([ANTI]MATERIA, Centro de Cultura Digital), Eva Fischer (CIVA Festival, sound:frame Festival) and Bart Rutten (Centraal Museum).
