The Bronx River Art Center (BRAC) is currently seeking applications from Independent Curators for its 2025-26 Exhibitions Calendar (September 2025 - June 30, 2026).

  
The selected curators will be responsible for sourcing all materials from artists, writing exhibition texts, and facilitating a public program. We encourage curatorial proposals by independent curators who are attuned to stretching boundaries and discovering new talent, in particular artists from The Bronx.

  
This call for proposals aligns with our mission of supporting artists from underrepresented groups, such as women and artists of color and addressing relevant social and environmental issues. Further, we continue our commitment to present exhibitions in various media, including interdisciplinary practices that connect artists in The Bronx and beyond!

  
BRAC Exhibitions Program has become known for both its deft curatorial vision and its ability to produce ambitious, energetic exhibitions with ingenuity and immediacy. In recent years, we have exposed various paradigms of contemporary art to the litmus test of our local Bronx community and the cultural, economic, and social landscape that defines it. 

  
Finalists will be contacted for a virtual or in-person interview before selections are finalized and announced. 

  
Please note that we are unable to cover travel or shipping expenses.

Selected curators will receive an honorarium (up to $500), depending on the complexity of the exhibition. Exhibiting artists will receive stipends (up to $100), based on the total number of participating artists.

  
Exhibition at in the Bronx, NYC.
