For 2024, Up to 4 funded fellowships will be offered. Over the course of the learning cycle (April 2024 – January 2025), ECI Fellows will participate in monthly educational meetings with their cohort, reflect on their and others’ curatorial practice through research and witnessing contemporary art, explore museums, galleries and sites hosting art across the Twin Cities and choose a mentor who will support them in developing a curatorial project that may be presented in 2025.

Awarded Fellows will receive:
– A stipend of $3,000 for participation in the learning cycle, with further funding offered to realize an exhibition or curatorial project in 2025.
– A 10 month long curatorial learning intensive with peers in the 2024 cohort (monthly gatherings).
– An opportunity to develop a small scale pop-up cohort exhibition at close of the learning cycle.
– Individualized Curatorial mentorship.
– Thoughtful feedback and ongoing support in developing a curatorial project from the fellowship cohort, mentors, guest curators and ECI Director.
– A warm welcome into the expansive network of ECI Fellows, partners and mentors; connecting and building relationships with artists, peers, arts workers, curators, spaces and communities regionally, nationally and globally.
