The Curatorial Fellowship is a 10-month program awarding an emerging curator $5,000 and a platform for exploring new curatorial approaches to craft. The Curatorial Fellow will work closely with the Center’s program staff and mentor to develop an exhibition in the Center for Craft’s Bresler Family Gallery, located in Asheville, North Carolina.

We are excited to kick off the fourth cycle of the Curatorial Fellowship and seek proposals that explore craft's role in community vitality. In the wake of Hurricane Helene and the wildfires in California, we witnessed firsthand how interconnected craft is with the well-being of our communities and the importance of craft as we rebuild toward a resilient future. Proposals are welcome from individuals, two-person teams, and collectives.

Attend the information session to get an overview of the Curatorial Fellowship program and receive tips for simplifying the application process, followed by an audience Q&A.

The information session will be recorded. A copy of the recording will be sent to all who register and made available on the Curatorial Fellowship webpage on the Center for Craft website.
