ArtGraduates Fresh Edit is an open call for emerging curators to work with a living collection of 100+ contemporary visual artists, all graduates of leading art academies worldwide.
Upon registration, approved participants receive access to a dedicated curator preview page featuring all available artworks in full resolution with unique image IDs. From this collection, curators select at least 5 works by at least 3 different artists and write an original curatorial essay (500–2000 words) exploring the thematic, conceptual, or art-historical connections between them.
The five strongest projects will be published as standalone articles in ArtGraduates Magazine (ISSN 3029-9292), each translated into 17 languages. Selected curators receive a dedicated profile page with bio, photo, and links to their professional channels. The best project is additionally awarded a $300 USD prize.
Tip: If you work with artists who are not yet on the platform, you can suggest them for registration at artgraduates.com. If approved, their works become part of the available collection, expanding both your and their international reach.
Open to curators, art history students, and recent graduates aged 18–35. Submissions accepted in any language. Selected projects are published as editorial features in ArtGraduates Magazine.
