The Center for Craft offers a Curatorial Fellowship, a ten-month program providing an emerging curator with a $5,000 award and a platform to develop and present an exhibition in their Asheville, North Carolina gallery. The fellowship aims to support innovative curatorial research focused on craft, particularly encouraging proposals for the 2026 cycle that explore the theme of Craft and Community Vitality. Applicants must be eligible to receive income in the U.S., be over 21, and are expected to fully develop and mount their proposed exhibition, working closely with Center for Craft staff and mentors. The program also facilitates professional development and networking within the craft field.
