_Rough Gems_ is Union Hall’s annual collaborative curatorial program that will take place from **Thursday, January 16 - Saturday, April 19, 2025**. _Rough Gems_ showcases the work of three Denver-area curators or curatorial teams who receive equitable wages, curatorial mentorship, access to Union Hall’s space, budget and facilities and additional resources in order to create month-long exhibitions, alongside supplemental events.

Union Hall will provide curatorial stipends of **$900 to each curator** (up to two curators), and artist stipends of **$300 to each artist** (up to six artists). These stipends are not to be used towards exhibition costs; they are compensation for your creative work. 

  
In addition to artist and curatorial stipends Union Hall will also provide:

* Curatorial mentorship
* General guidance and planning support
* Social media, marketing, and press outreach
* Installation and deinstallation support
* Access to Union Hall’s installation tools and resources
* Vinyl exhibition text
* Gallery guide support (brochure with exhibition information available for visitors)
* Exhibition photography
* Full use of Union Hall’s facilities, including all of its movable walls, furniture, and technology
* General support for supplemental programming events
* Staffing during the exhibition’s open hours as well as for supplementary programming and events
