The British charity, Art Fund, has revealed its plans to introduce a five-year program aimed at aiding curators from global majority backgrounds. This initiative, known as ‘Empowering Curators,’ seeks to offer resources and support to those who have historically been underrepresented in the art community.
Through this program, Art Fund is set to provide a variety of opportunities including residencies, project funding, and professional development workshops. This comes as a response to the need for greater diversity and representation within the art sector.
Art Fund has highlighted the critical role that diversity and inclusion play in enhancing the cultural field and in tackling systemic disparities. By launching this initiative, the charity aims to foster a more equitable arts environment.
