Helsinki International Curatorial Programme currently offers  
curatorial residencies in Helsinki for international visual arts  
curators. The programme is 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 Finnish participants.
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 for the participant’s
curatorial project 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.

Applications should be sent by post to the address below. Please note
