NARS Curatorial Fellowship

NARS Foundation is pleased to announce the continuation of their Curatorial Fellowship program, previously held during the 2022 Satellite Residency Season on Governors Island. This new iteration of the Curatorial Fellowship will run concurrently with the International Residency Program seasons, over the course of six months, 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.

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.
