Three Curatorial Fellowships: Curatorial Practice and the Museum: Working with Collections of Modern and Contemporary Art

2010 is the Contemporary Art Society's centenary year. To celebrate, a Centenary Programme will take place in partnership with many of our sixty-three member museums across the UK.

For 100 years, the Contemporary Art Society has acted as a catalyst for visual arts in this country, developing audiences, artists, curators, collectors and collections alike. It has played a unique and visionary role by donating more than 8,000 works to institutions in Britain, where art is enjoyed by many generations. The Programme will include, exhibitions, publication, talks and events. Also, as part of the programme, we are delighted to be able to offer three Curatorial Fellowships to focus on our work with public collections.

The Fellowships, based within the collections, aim to bring additional contemporary art, curatorial expertise right to the heart of the staff teams working within the museums. The initiative is designed to offer the Fellow curatorial experience of working with and planning the future of a public collection. This may relate to modern, contemporary and historic collections.
