Curatorial Research Fellowship - THE EDEN (Due Apr. 13)
Curatorial Research Fellowship - THE EDEN
Deadline: April 13th, 2026
TWO exceptional curators will be chosen for this fellowship and each fellow will receive a one-time, unrestricted grant of $3,000. The selected fellows will automatically become members of the foundation, with their writing, research, and projects featured on our website and in various marketing channels and printed materials.
Eligibility
This opportunity is open to curators working independently or with institutional affiliations who have a minimum of TWO years of professional experience in curation.
Review Process
The selection will be conducted by an independent jury to ensure fairness and integrity in the award process. Applications are reviewed over the course of two phases:
Phase 1: The jury will conduct an independent review of assigned applications.
Phase 2: The jury will convene to collectively discuss and finalize the selection of award recipients from the applications that advance to this stage.
The jury will assess applications based on the following criteria:
Originality and Innovation: The proposal should demonstrate a unique perspective and innovative approach to curatorial practice. We are looking for projects that push boundaries and offer fresh insights into contemporary issues in art and culture.
Relevance and Impact: The project should address significant themes or questions within the field of contemporary art. Consideration will be given to how the proposed exhibition or research contributes to broader cultural dialogues and its potential impact on audiences and communities.
Feasibility and Planning: The application should clearly outline a realistic timeline and a well-defined plan for executing the project. This includes identifying necessary resources, potential collaborators, and how the fellowship will facilitate the successful realization of the proposed project.
