The Frieze x Deutsche Bank Emerging Curators Fellowship aims to increase diversity in the visual arts by funding paid entry-level positions for UK-based Black and POC emerging curators.
We are delighted to announce we have reached our fundraising target for the fellowship at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead and would like to thank you for your generous support.
Following sales of nearly 2,000 bespoke face masks designed by Idris Khan and an edition by John Akomfrah, we will now be able to place two Frieze x Deutsche Bank Emerging Curators Fellowship participants.
The inaugural fellowship was presented in partnership with Chisenhale Gallery, London and the 2021 fellowship placement is in partnership with BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead. One fellow will be based at each institution for 18 months on a paid placement. They will also take part in mentoring sessions with experts from Frieze and Deutsche Bank to further develop their networks and experience for the duration of the fellowship.
Fellowship applications for Chisenhale Gallery are now open and applications for the placement at BALTIC will open at a later date.
Details of our new partner will be announced soon.
Please continue to support future fellowships by purchasing one of our limited editions.
