Applications are now open for a residential 10-day Curatorial Forum to take place in the UK from Sunday 8 – Tuesday 17 October 2023. Applications are due Monday 12 June 2023 at 5pm BST.
This will bring together a select group of up to 12 people from a range of backgrounds and working contexts, and from all stages of their careers, based outside the UK but working with British art, artists or heritage.
The Forum will be a unique chance to explore the histories, present experiences and futures of curating, make new professional connections, and enjoy access to exceptional collections and resources with behind-the scenes tours and introductions to established curators and art-world leaders.
The programme will be centred around these critical questions:
“Who gets to be a curator?”
“What does curating mean now?”
“Is “British art?’ relevant as a category?”
Based in London and Manchester, the programme will include gallery visits, workshop sessions and field trips, as well as time to socialise, reflect and research. With the re-installation and relaunch of several major organisations in 2023, including Tate Britain, Manchester Art Gallery, Manchester Museum and the National Portrait Gallery, this is a timely moment to explore British art curating in the UK.
