AAMC FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES TEN AWARDEES FOR ITS ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR INTERNATIONAL CURATORS 

February 15, 2023, NEW YORK, NY — AAMC Foundation’s Engagement Program for International Curators (EPIC) offers a rare and valuable cross-cultural networking and exchange platform.

“EPIC is a distinctive program that extends peer-to-peer curator learning beyond a local and national level,” said Judith Pineiro, Executive Director, AAMC & AAMC Foundation. “As the international museum community grows more collaborative, we are proud to offer the opportunity that amplifies curatorial connectedness within this new global exchange.”

Through a free and open application process, fellows were selected for the EPIC U.S. Art edition with two International Awardees and two U.S. Liaisons exploring art of the United States, and the EPIC U.K. Curators edition with three U.K. Awardees and three U.S. Liaisons. Each edition’s cohort works together alongside the individual pairings' collaborative efforts.   Awarded pairings receive funding for a stipend, travel, accommodation, and per-diem to visit each other’s institutions and attend the 2023 Art Curators Conference, including registration and membership. 

The robust program is part of the AAMC Foundation’s efforts to create curatorial dialogues on a global level. This program is made possible through major support from the Art Fund and Terra Foundation for American Art.
