In order to be eligible, curators must currently be a full-time resident of and have an active curatorial practice in one of countries listed below. The residency program includes 24-hour access to a private furnished office space; meetings with Visiting Critics; and field trips to museums, galleries and other cultural venues. The residency also includes a stipend of $3,000 per month ($9,000 total). ISCP residents become part of a growing network of international artists and curators who are ISCP alumni. An ISCP residency has often led to critical advancement in the practices of the artists and curators in residence, and fosters a dynamic, supportive working community. Alumni of the Jane Farver Memorial Fund residency include Howie Chen (2017), Amanda Abi Khalil (2019), Bárbara Perea Legorreta (2019), and Jianru Wu (2020).

Other requirements include a working knowledge of English, being onsite at ISCP 20-hours per week, and conducting studio visits with the artists (and curators) in residence in the International Program.

The Jane Farver Memorial Fund has received support from the Lambent Foundation, Cai Guo- Qiang, John L. Moore, kimsooja, Carolee Thea, Jennifer Bansen, Jennifer Wen Ma, and Alfredo Jaar.
