The fourth meeting features a portfolio review, a public exhibition showcasing the work of selected artists, and a publication profiling these creators.
The Foundation for Visual Arts will host the fourth meeting of the Curators’ Network
The dovetailing objectives of the Curators’ Network’s are to promote intercultural co-operation between European arts organisations, while simultaneously offering merging artists in these organisations’ home countries a platform for presenting their work abroad.
The Krakow gathering will provide a unique opportunity for 20 emergent artists, based in Poland, to introduce their work (and themselves) during a portfolio review to 19 curators from 13 different countries. On Saturday December 8, an open day to all art professionals and enthusiasts who would like to take part in one-to-one conversations with the invited curators will be held.
