Call for Curators — job vacancies, grants and professional resources for curators worldwide
Building an international curatorial career can be just as challenging as finding grants or residencies for artists. Job opportunities are scattered across museum websites, open calls appear on biennial platforms, and useful application resources are spread across dozens of different websites. Call for Curators was created to bring these opportunities together in one place.
This international platform combines curator jobs, open calls, residencies, grants, research programmes, internships and professional career-development resources. It helps users track opportunities in contemporary art and culture through a single interface.
The platform is particularly useful for independent curators, cultural managers, art researchers, exhibition producers and professionals seeking international opportunities or employment within cultural institutions abroad.
What Opportunities Are Published
The platform regularly features:
— curator jobs in museums, galleries and cultural institutions;
— open calls for curatorial projects;
— international curatorial residencies;
— research and educational programmes;
— grants for curators and cultural professionals;
— paid internships;
— opportunities connected to biennials, festivals and exhibitions;
— curator recruitment announcements for international projects.
A special focus is placed on job opportunities. Many listings are published well before the deadline, allowing users to monitor career opportunities across Europe, North America, Asia and other regions.

Subscription and Pricing
