OPPORTUNITY: ‘Curate For The Community’ with Shutter Hub

Graphic reading 'CURATE FOR THE COMMUNITY' in white text in the centre. Behind is a photograph of black framed glasses upside down on a dark surface, with framed pictures visible but out of focus in the background.

At Shutter Hub we work with photographers on a diverse range of projects, supporting creativity and career development, and offering innovative opportunities that might not always be available elsewhere.

The ‘Curate for the Community’ project will see the production of a series of online exhibitions, curated by Shutter Hub members and selected guest curators, for the wider photographic community.  Curators will choose their own theme for the exhibition, select the images and curate with the support of the Shutter Hub team.

Have you got an idea for an exhibition that you’d like to pursue and produce, but haven’t had the platform, resources or connections to make it a reality? Would you like Shutter Hub’s support in helping you make it happen?

Curators will choose their own theme for the exhibition, create a call for entries, develop a publicly strategy, select the images and curate their own show, with the support of the Shutter Hub team.

This is a long term project and we’d like applicants to put a detailed, strong and well-thought-out idea forward for consideration.

Proposals should be around 1000 words and outline:

  • Your idea and why you’d like to pursue it
  • Why you think it fits well with Shutter Hub’s ethos
  • How it will benefit you and further your career as a photographer
  • How it will benefit the exhibitors and the audience
  • How you intend to publicise and promote it
  • Supporting links and information
  • Any experience you have and how it will help. (It’s okay if you’ve never done this before, just share as much detail as possible so we can tailor our support).

Proposals can be submitted here.
