CURATE OUR MIDSUMMA 2026 SHOW!
Calling all Brotherboy / Sistergirl * MVPFAFF+ * Two-spirit * LGBTQIA+ Curators!
We’re calling out to First Nations curators with bold vision, fierce pride, and the drive to deliver something extraordinary. Midsumma 2026 is just 5 months away - and we’re looking for a dynamic curator ready to shape a group exhibition that speaks directly to the heart of our diverse LGBTQIA+ communities.
We want razor-sharp concepts, unapologetic storytelling, and powerful representation. You’ll be working fast, but not alone - you’ll have production support and a platform to elevate voices that matter.
This is a quick-fire opportunity to craft something high-calibre, high-impact, and deeply resonant.
If you’ve got the curatorial chops, cultural grounding, and creative spark to lead this - we want to hear from you.
Applications are due ASAP
OR by SUNDAY 24 August at the latest.
