Emerging Curator Fellowship

This fellowship is designed to support the growth and development of curatorial talent by contracting an individual or ensemble of individuals to develop content for an exhibition of Albertan visual art. This initiative is intended to bring a new perspective to the artworks and artists featured in the AFA Art Collection while increasing visibility for pieces in mediums and sizes that currently have limited circulation within AFA's TREX exhibition program and art placement initiatives. The fellowship is structured as a two-year initiative where selected fellows will curate an exhibition of up to 20 artworks from the AFA Art Collection for the approximately 3000 square feet art house gallery space in Calgary. The final exhibition produced as a result of this fellowship will be displayed at the AFA art house in Calgary. Selected fellows will work with AFA staff to fully develop the exhibition concept, design and implement an accompanying educational enhancement in support of the exhibition.
