Introduction to the Fellowship
Frieze and Deutsche Bank are proud to announce the return of the Emerging Curators Fellowship for its fifth year. This program supports emerging Black and POC curators by offering 12-month, full-time, paid fellowships at leading arts organizations.
Past Successes and Program Impact
The fellowship has previously collaborated with institutions such as Chisenhale Gallery, Baltic, The Whitworth Gallery, and V&A East. Fellows like Amina Jama and Kinnari Saraiya have gained valuable experience, from working closely with artists to participating in multiple exhibitions. This program is crucial for empowering curators of color, providing them with new skills and the confidence to advance in their careers.
Fellowship Details and Grant Information
The selected organization will receive a £45,000 grant. This grant covers the Fellow’s salary, management, travel, research, and evaluation costs. The application deadline is 15 April 2024, at midnight BST.
How to Apply
Eligible UK-based non-profit visual arts organizations (museums or galleries) can apply. Organizations must be registered charities, accredited through the Arts Council, run regular exhibitions, and commit to diversity and public access. Submit applications through the online form.
Selection Process
A panel, including past fellows and directors from Frieze, Baltic, V&A East, and Deutsche Bank, will select the partner organization. Applicants will receive notification by the week of 22 April 2024.
