Emerging Curators Fellowship

Programs for Arts and Culture

Emerging Curators Fellowship

The Emerging Curators Fellowship program is a funded opportunity for emerging curators to develop and present two exhibitions at the Robert T. Matsui Gallery inside Sacramento City Hall.

This is a year-long program, where one fellow will produce and mount two exhibitions (each on view for 4 months) with the support of a curatorial mentor. The fellow will receive a stipend and funding for both exhibitions. A mentor will meet with the fellow on a regular basis to help fine tune ideas and provide feedback and guidance on the development of both exhibitions. This program is intended to provide an opportunity to those interested in the visual arts curatorial field, but may not have easy access to funding, locations, or other resources.

The application for the 2026 Emerging Curators Fellowship will be open from August 11, 2025 until September 15, 2025, 11:59pm. Click here to access a PDF of the guidelines.

Applicantions must be submitted through OAC's Submittable portal. Click here to go to the application.
