in vitro: Fellowship Open Call

We are looking for individuals with a curiosity for artist-run spaces and curation, who are keen to engage in hands-on, collaborative work with the Gossamer Fog team. Fellows will contribute to the delivery of our gallery exhibition programme, live mixed-reality events at our virtual production facility, Alt_R and a wide variety of other project and operational tasks, supported by ongoing mentorship and training. Alongside this, you’ll also have the opportunity to develop and curate your own group exhibition.

As an artist-run organisation, we especially welcome applications from artists interested in curation alongside their main art practice. We believe that artists often make excellent curators, bringing fresh perspectives, diverse skills, and a more experimental approach.

This is afreelance paid position, running for one day (8 hours) a week over a 6 month period, with a total fee of £3120 (£120 per day), with an additional £1000 production budget towards a supported curatorial project/group exhibition.

Fellowship Placement Period: 23rd March – 4th October 2026

This fellowship is aimed at early-career artists and curators who are not currently working as curators for other galleries or creative organisations. We’re especially interested in people who are curious about artist-run spaces and feel they’d benefit from gaining some invaluable experience while spending time learning, experimenting, and working alongside us.

Our fellowships are open to everyone. We are committed to building a programme that reflects a wide range of voices and experiences, and to addressing ongoing underrepresentation within the arts. In support of this we actively encourage applications from Black, Asian, and other ethnic minority practitioners.
