The project

Curators’ Network: an online platform where emerging European cultural agents can connect and collaborate



The Curators’ Network was created to fill a gap detected by five European cultural agents for the purpose of:

  • Helping art professionals across Europe to share their knowledge
  • Encouraging international collaboration between European organisations and curators
  • Promoting new artists in European circles

International meetings to discover the emerging cultural scene in each country

Each member of the Curators’ Network invites the network participants and other art professionals to discover the emerging cultural scene of his/her country in situ. Special emphasis is placed on artists, agents and organisations that are still relatively unknown abroad but whose work is of a sufficient quality and interest to be introduced to international circles. Each meeting is divided into three segments:   

  • A portfolio review of selected artists from the host country
  • Talks and informal presentations in which artists, curators and organisations present a project for which they are seeking collaborators
  • A tour of the most dynamic venues in the city hosting the event

Five meetings from now until 2012. The network is looking for more partners!

The Curators’ Network aspires to become a vibrant, long-term network, and we therefore urge anyone interested in joining this initiative to contact us. For now, the Curators’ Network is planning to hold five meetings in Spain, Austria, Romania, Hungary and Poland, as well as a group exhibition in 2013.
