In the 2025 New York Curatorial Seminar, six New York-based curators will meet monthly from March to July 2025 for discussion-based seminars and site visits across New York, led by ICI staff, guest curators, artists, and arts professionals. Over the course of the Seminar, each participant will also workshop a proposal for a project and receive individual advisement from selected mentors, who provide a unique perspective on the participant's curatorial practice. Seminar sessions will take place virtually and in person at various locations around New York City.
About the Program
ICI's Curatorial Seminar is a free professional development program that supports emerging curators to advance their practice. It centers a first-person approach to curating, and focuses on strengthening curatorial practices that support overlooked artists and engage with local art communities while working outside of a large institution. This unique program offers opportunities to gain knowledge and resources through ICI’s network, share ideas, and think through developments in one's own curatorial practice. Through this process, the Seminar seeks to build an affirming network of peers who connect around common values, and support the sharing of knowledge among early-career curators.
