Gasworks and Upė Foundation Launch Paid Curatorial Fellowship for Baltic-Region Curators
Gasworks in London has announced the opening of applications for the Upė Foundation Curatorial Fellowship, a paid, full-time position lasting between 12 to 18 months within its curatorial team. This fellowship aims to foster professional growth for an early-career curator linked to the Baltic region—specifically Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia—by offering hands-on experience in exhibitions, residencies, public programs, and broader artistic initiatives. The fellow will collaborate closely with the Curator and Assistant Curator to manage the artistic program and engage with artists, partners, and freelancers. A key duty includes supporting the artist selected through the Upė Foundation's open call for a residency in 2027 and assisting with their solo exhibition at Gasworks in 2028. This role is part of a long-term collaboration between Gasworks and the Upė Foundation to support emerging talent from the Baltic region and its diasporas. Interested candidates can apply at upefoundation.org, with submissions due by Nov. 9, 2026, at 1pm UK Time.
