CURATORIAL

Curatorial Intensive

This Spring, ICI will organize a Curatorial Intensive focused on independent curatorial practices developing in local contexts that are defined by the presence of biennials or triennials. Reflecting on the many new biennials or triennials that have launched over the last decade, especially in regional art centers in the U.S., the program will consider the ebbs and flows of these large-scale exhibitions and their role in developing new audiences and infrastructures that can represent new opportunities to local independent curators. This Curatorial Intensive will take place in the U.S. and details about the program will be announced in March, when the application process will open.

In July, ICI will organize the sixth Curatorial Intensive in Latin America, in a continued commitment to professional development opportunities on the continent since 2012. This will be the

fifth program to be conducted entirely in Spanish, offering Spanish-speaking curators the opportunity to meet colleagues from around the world, share ideas on how to push the parameters of their practice, and build a network for future collaborations. Details about this program will be available in the Spring, and the application process will open in April. Applicants should be fluent in Spanish, as seminars and discussions will take place primarily in Spanish.

The Curatorial Intensive is made possible in part by grants from the Hartfield Foundation, and by generous contributions from ICI’s Leadership Council, the ICI Board of Trustees, the ICI Gerrit Lansing Education Fund, and the supporters of ICI’s Access Fund.

ICI offers several scholarship packages available to all curators. In addition, as part of an ongoing partnership with the Joyce Foundation to support greater diversity in the curatorial field in the U.S., scholarships are available for African-, Latinix-, Asian-, Arab-, and Native American curators based in the Great Lakes region. Additional scholarships for the Curatorial Intensive are generously provided by the Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and SAHA.
