This is an open call inviting 2–3 Northwestern Polytechnic students to participate in an Emerging Indigenous Curatorial Mentorship Opportunity. This will directly help candidates establish a career in the arts, receiving hands-on training and professional experience in curatorial practice, exhibition design, and management, with an emphasis on Indigenous curatorial methodologies.
This initiative directly addresses the often difficult gap between studying, gaining experience and building a career. Having the opportunity to shadow established Curator Franchesca Hebert-Spence (Sagkeeng First Nation) and artist Carrie Allison (nêhiýaw/Métis/mixed European descent) will be a unique chance to learn directly and build relationships with professionals in the field, and apply that knowledge for your projects and future opportunities.
