Helsinki International Curatorial Programme offers residencies in Helsinki for
international visual arts curators. The programme is a collaboration between HIAP - Helsinki International Artist-in-residence Programme and FRAME Finnish Fund for Art
Exchange.

The aim of the programme is to provide curators with an opportunity to carry out
research on Finnish fine art, to build contacts with Finnish art practitioners and cultural organisations and to develop international curatorial projects involving
practitioners based in Finland.

The programme is open to curators worldwide with professional experience in
organising visual arts projects.

Curatorial residencies include the cost of travel to and from Helsinki with a grant
for living expenses provided by FRAME, studio accommodation and residency services
provided by HIAP and administrative support and practical assistance provided jointly by FRAME and HIAP. A small public event (workshop, lecture, open meeting,etc)
will also be organized during the residency.

The length of the curatorial residency is usually one calendar month.

APPLICATIONS are accepted throughout the year. The jury reviewing the applications
meets at least twice a year. Applications should be received by May 1st or November
1st to qualify for review at the following meeting.

Applications should include presentation materials of the applicant's previous projects, a curriculum vitae, a working plan for the residency period and a proposal
for a public event to be organised during the residency.
