The International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) announces an open call for a fully funded three- month residency for a curator from the Global South, including a stipdend for travel and housing, supported by the Jane Farver Memorial Fund.

The residency also includes a stipend of $3,000 per month ($9,000 total). ISCP residents become part of a growing network of international artists and curators who are ISCP alumni. An ISCP residency has often led to critical advancement in the practices of the artists and curators in residence, and fosters a dynamic, supportive working community. Alumni of the Jane Farver Memorial Fund residency include Howie Chen (2017), Amanda Abi Khalil (2019), Bárbara Perea Legorreta (2019), and Jianru Wu (2020).

Other requirements include a working knowledge of English, being onsite at ISCP 20-hours per week, and conducting studio visits with the artists (and curators) in residence in the International Program.
