NARS Curatorial Fellowship

APPLY BY SEPTEMBER 23, 11:59 PM

NARS Foundation is pleased to announce an open call for the next season of the NARS Curatorial Fellowship program. The Curatorial Fellowship will run concurrently with the International Residency Program seasons from January - June 2025, and will be held in our Sunset Park location in Brooklyn. The Curatorial Fellow will work closely with the artists-in-residence and NARS Staff to develop an exhibition to be shown in the NARS Galleries.

During the six-month fellowship period, curators will develop an exhibition with each of the two cohorts of International Residency Artists. Each International Residency season runs for three months, and the exhibition developed by the curatorial fellow will be on view during the final month of each season.

The Curatorial Fellow will conduct studio visits with each artist-in-residence and develop a cohesive curatorial plan for the group exhibition, with works from each of the current artists-in-residence. Curatorial Fellows are expected to be present in the studio space & NARS office for at least two days a week. Fellows will also write a press release for each exhibition. Curatorial Fellows will receive a $3,000 stipend for the 6 month fellowship. 

This is a unique opportunity for emerging curators to work with artists from a multitude of backgrounds and disciplines. The Fellowship is designed to both complement and enhance the well-established International Residency Program, and further foster new perspectives and diversity of experiences for both the Curator and Residency Artists. 

All applications must be completed and submitted by Monday, September 23rd, 2024, at 11:59 pm. Late submissions will not be accepted. Open but incomplete application forms will not be processed. There is no application fee for this application. All applications must be submitted through the Submittable link below.
