Call out to curators for FAB17
Deadline: 04/11/2016City: bath | Country: United Kingdom | Arran Hodgson
Fringe Arts Bath Festival is calling out to aspiring curators, offering the opportunity to devise and organise a show as part of FaB Festival, 26 May - 11 June 2017.
Do you have an idea for an exhibition, performance, intervention or event?
Anyone can apply, with any level of experience: students, graduates, artists, local, national or international.
We invite fresh and challenging concepts
FaB is a test-bed for the new, wonderful and sometimes odd. We encourage you to think outside the box! See links below to some curators' blogs from 2016, or visit www.fringeartsbath.co.uk for more.
FaB curators’ shows can include: performance, intervention, installation, multi-media and video work, photography, drawing, painting, sculpture and all disciplines in between.
Curating a show for FaB is a great chance to gain experience in this competitive field, to realise your own exhibition or event, to make new contacts and network. In past years FaB has initiated exchanges between artists and curators from Manchester, Swansea, Oxford, Bath, Hungary, Poland, Canada and beyond.
Selection by committee will take place in November, those selected will be invited to attend a curator’s meeting after which your show will be advertised in FaB’s November call out to artists.
FaB will offer you admin support, practical advice through regular meetings, mentoring from past curators and exhibition space.
How to apply
Get in touch and tell us about your idea! Submit a proposal through CuratorSpace detailing the underpinning themes with supporting images and your CV.
FaB 2016 saw visitor numbers break 9,500 across 29 exhibitions and 64 events housed in 8 venues and around Bath's streets.
Bath is located in the South West of England with good transport links, has a thriving art scene and plays host to many international festivals throughout the year; FaB is the only visual arts extravaganza!
Please be aware FaB cannot offer funding at this time, but can cover some expenses agreed in advance. We are a volunteer-run, non-profit registered company.
