Fringe Arts Bath Festival are calling on curators to get involved in next year’s festival. Do you have an idea for an exhibition, performance, intervention or event?

Send us your ideas. If you’re selected, we’ll help you make it happen.

Deadline for submissions is Sunday, 30th October 2022, just before midnight.

FaB is offering aspiring Curators the opportunity to devise and organise a show as part of the Fringe Arts Bath Festival programme, running 26th May to 11th June 2023.

We invite fresh and challenging concepts; FaB is a test-bed for new ideas, a platform for Curators and Artists to show experimental work beyond the gallery walls.

Anyone can propose a project, exhibition, performance or event, “You don’t have to have ‘Curator’ written on your business card to apply”. Any level of experience is welcome: students, graduates, artists, local, national, international.

FaB will support you with reaching artists, promotion, space - both online and physical, logistics and more.

Please be aware FaB cannot offer funding at this time, but can cover some expenses agreed in advance. We are a volunteer-run, non-profit registered company.

FaB Curators' shows can include:

Performance, intervention, installation, multi-media and video work, photography, drawing, painting, sculpture and all disciplines in between.

Curating a show for FaB is a great chance to gain experience in this competitive field, to realise your own exhibition or event, to make new contacts and network. In past years FaB has initiated exchanges between artists and curators from London, Brighton, Manchester, Swansea, Oxford, Bath, India, Hungary, Poland, Canada and beyond.

Get in touch and tell us about your idea by submitting a proposal of approximately five hundred words detailing the underpinning themes with supporting images and your CV. You can submit as a PDF, a Powerpoint, a video, an audio file, or by post. If another format suits you better, let us know.

Post: Fringe Arts Bath, 103 Walcot Street, Bath BA1 5BW.

The FaB committee will let you know which proposals they have selected (or not) during w/c 7th Nov 2022.
