The Hall Curatorial Fellowship program is intended to offer an exceptional
opportunity to a visiting international curator to gain United States
curatorial experience in a United States museum setting, and to support
the professional development of curators.
In order to bring an international perspective to the Museum’s curatorial
practice, the Hall Fellow will be primarily responsible for curating an
original exhibition in keeping with the Museum’s mission, overseeing its
installation at The Aldrich, and the development of appropriate
complementary cultural and educational programs.

The Hall Curatorial Fellowship program is NOT a residency program.
Applicants are invited to submit a proposal for a solo or group exhibition
of contemporary art created within the past five years, the proposed
exhibition must be his/her original idea and has not previously been
presented; in accordance with the guidelines under How to Apply For a
Fellowship.

All forms of visual art, with no media restrictions, are eligible. The
exhibition should be an original idea of interest to viewers of all ages,
which offers the opportunity for a United States exhibition to an
international emerging and mid-career artist(s).

participating artist(s), and create a feasible budget not in excess of
US$70,000 for the project.
