ArtCurator is a navigator of international cultural opportunities for artists and cultural professionals.
We collect, structure, and explain international opportunities so that artists and cultural professionals can enter the international field consciously, without unnecessary barriers or wasted time on endless searching.
ArtCurator was created as a space for the thoughtful curation of opportunities for the creative community. We do not publish everything that appears in the public domain, nor do we chase quantity for the sake of reach. Every opportunity presented on the platform goes through a curatorial filter: we assess the context, the real conditions of participation, professional value, and the potential for developing artistic practice and career. What you find here are not random links, but tools that can genuinely work.
For artists and cultural professionals, searching for opportunities is not an abstract process but part of a personal and professional journey. We understand how important it is not to waste time and energy on things that do not make sense, which is why ArtCurator structures navigation through the international cultural landscape so that every step is guided by a clear sense of what the point is. The platform helps not only to find opportunities, but to align them with one’s own experience, goals, and stage of development.
▼ We explain the differences between competitions, residencies, awards, grants, and art-related jobs — and clarify which goals each format is best suited for.
This helps you choose opportunities consciously rather than at random, saving time and energy for working on your projects.
▼ We translate participation requirements into clear, accessible language, highlight key criteria, and flag important nuances.
This way, you understand the requirements right away and don’t spend weeks untangling formalities.
▼ We analyze international programs and assess their reliability.
As a result, you receive a clean, verified list of opportunities you can trust.
▼ We create a single point of access.
Opportunities are no longer scattered across dozens of websites — they are carefully structured and always within reach.
▼ On the platform, you can save materials that interest you and create your own collections.
Your personal account gradually becomes an individual navigation tool: selected opportunities, notes, ideas, and directions you want to work with further.
▼ Built-in AI assistants help you navigate materials more efficiently.
They highlight key points, assist with translations, and help prepare draft texts for applications.
▼ All core features of the platform are available free of charge.
Access to materials, tools, and personal features requires registration only.
ArtCurator grew out of practice and lived experience — from attempts to navigate international opportunities for our own projects and for the people we worked with. Over time, it became clear that navigating these opportunities is a distinct and labor-intensive part of cultural work, one that artists and curators almost never have enough time for.
We are Belarusian by origin, and our experience was shaped in conditions where access to international programs is rarely straightforward. This taught us to pay close attention to linguistic, bureaucratic, and contextual barriers — and to look for practical ways to navigate and dismantle them.
ArtCurator was launched in February 2026 with the support of the Belarusian diaspora in Lithuania — through the New Belarus Taxes initiative and an open public vote. From the very beginning, the platform was created for Belarusian artists and cultural professionals, and today it remains open to authors from Eastern Europe and neighboring regions — regardless of their country of residence or current context.
