UK | Brooks International Fellowship 2027

Overview

Delfina Foundation, in collaboration with Tate, invites applications for the Brooks International Fellowship Programme 2027. The programme enables international researchers to work with Tate colleagues for six months in 2027, complemented by activities at Delfina Foundation. Two 6-month Fellowship opportunities are available in the Tate Britain Curatorial Division.

Fellowship Opportunities
