There are relatively few opportunities for emerging curators to submit work for consideration and be awarded funds, when compared to similar opportunities for artists. This list was created for those who are first-time curators or at the beginning of their journey in art curation.

This list of creative opportunities is available to artists, writers, filmmakers and more. Applications in this list close in the fall and winter of 2023, into 2024.

With our Rough Gems program, Union Hall aims to support aspiring curators, but also hopes to break down the barriers for who can consider themselves a curator, and diversify the voices responsible for exhibition-making in the Denver area.

This list was created for those who are looking to broaden their experiences, get more eyes on their work, focus on their practice, or acquire funding for projects.
