Call for curators to explore Web3
Become a candidate for The Curated Curatorial Council
Decentralized curating and exchange of knowledge is the foundation of The Curated platform. With this open call we invite digital art and museum curators to explore and navigate the Web3 space. Successful applicants will be accepted on the platform as verified curators and become candidates for The Curated Curatorial Council. As a successful applicant with a proven curatorial track record you will:
– Get exclusive access to the platform
– Be accepted as a verified curator
– Receive rewards for platform activities
– Be involved in electing new members to The Curated Curatorial Council
A jury will select ten applications by curators as candidates for election to the The Curated Curatorial Council by TheCurated DAO.
The Curatorial Council – Role
The Curatorial Council organizes regular meetings to discuss the development of The Curated platform and make key decisions, including approving Gem submissions, curatorial projects, election of members, webzine articles, and Curator’s Choices.
The Chief Curator appoints 50% of the Council, while The Curated DAO appoints the remaining 50% through transparent elections held quarterly. A set of incentives has been established on the platform to help streamline collective efforts to identify meaningful artworks. These artworks have to be approved by the Curatorial Council in order to appear in The Curated Feed.
The Curatorial Council – Structure
Today our Curatorial Council consists of art professionals from the Luminous Art Foundation: Snejana Krasteva (Chief Curator), Anne Duffau (Senior Curator), and Andrea Misiano (Curator-at-Large). We aim to expand the Curatorial Council and make more curators’ voices heard in our community.
To apply send us:
A short bio (max 150 words)
A curatorial statement (max 250 words)
A selection of 5 or 6 artworks from various platforms that you think have great artistic value (a list with links is enough at this stage).
