Organised by the British Art Network (Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art and Tate) and the Yale Center for British Art (YCBA), this year’s Forum will be based in New Haven and New York, bringing together a group of 8 people from a range of backgrounds and working contexts, and at different stages of their careers.
The Forum is intended as an opportunity to share experiences and thinking from a range of perspectives – across national, organisational and professional boundaries. Our 2025 group is made up of individuals with different experiences of working in British, US and Caribbean contexts, with the Hew Locke: Passages show and YCBA collections providing a focus for reflection and exchange.
The Forum will be a unique chance to explore the histories, present experiences and futures of curating, make new professional connections, and enjoy exceptional access to collections and resources with behind-the scenes tours and introductions to established curators, thinkers and art-world leaders. The programme will include gallery visits, workshop sessions and field trips, as well as time to socialise, reflect and undertake personal research.
