Get matched →Les Rencontres d’Arles is calling for applications from exhibition curators for their Curatorial Research Fellowship, to be undertaken throughout 2027. The fellowship is for curators wishing to carry out an original image/photography project and is supported by Jean-François Dubos.
Once the project has been selected, the curator will receive a grant of 5,000 euros to cover their expenses and royalties. The curator will have six months of research time, at the end of which they must submit a proposal to the artistic direction team of the Rencontres d’Arles to validate the feasibility of the project and its restitution format. The curator will present the file to the jury at a meeting to be scheduled between September and mid-October 2027.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
If the project is approved by Les Rencontres d’Arles at the end of the 6-month research period, it will enter the creation and production stage, supported by the Rencontres d’Arles. The curator commits to selecting works, designing an introductory text, and being present during the festival’s opening week.
If the preliminary work is not approved, the curator is free to organise the exhibition elsewhere but must state 'research supported by the Rencontres d’Arles 2027 curatorial research grant'. If approved, a new contract will be signed between the curator and Les Rencontres d’Arles. The curator assigns to the Rencontres d’Arles their copyright.
