Germany | 2026–2027 Projects Fellowship for curators
Braunschweig University of Art (HBK) is calling for applications from international curators for a 12-month curatorial fellowship starting on 1 April 2026.
Goals of the fellowship are the following:
- To enrich the curatorial practice at HBK Braunschweig by developing and realising a curatorial concept for the final exhibition of the Braunschweig Projects programme 2026/2027.
- To develop a curatorial project that is ideally connected to a museum, a collection, a scientific or a cultural institution in Lower Saxony.
Close cooperation and a connection to the work of the academic and artistic staff and especially the students of HBK is desirable. Participation in the Welcome Weeks (20–30 April 2026) is mandatory and the fellowship holder is expected to spend at least 8 months during the HBK lecture period on site in Braunschweig.
A prerequisite for a successful application is that the applicant has already gained initial curatorial experience (at least 3 years).
Support
- A stipend totalling 1,500 EUR per month over a period of 12 months
- A studio apartment in Braunschweig (designed for one person)
- A subsidy of up to 4,000 EUR to support the exhibition activities
- A budget of 2,000 EUR is available for travelling
A contribution of 200 EUR per month towards incidental living costs will be charged.
