brooks international fellowship programme

Tate, in collaboration with Delfina Foundation, invites applications for the Brooks International Fellowship Programme 2025. Now in its eleventh year, the highly successful programme enables international visual arts professionals to work with Tate colleagues for six months in 2025, complemented by a residency at Delfina Foundation.

Tate is excited to be offering two 6-month Fellowship opportunities open to international practitioners based outside of the UK, to be hosted in the below Team and Department at Tate.

Brooks International Fellowship 2025 in Tate St Ives Programme Team

23 June - 7 December 2025

Tate welcomes applications for a Fellow to work with Tate St Ives, located in an artistically important coastal town in the far southwest of England, at a significant moment of change. The Fellow will contribute to the development of its artist residency programme, known as the Artists Programme.

Brooks International Fellowship 2025 in Tate Modern Curatorial Division

23 June - 7 December 2025

Tate welcomes applications for a Fellow to focus on developments in ink art across East and Southeast Asia from the modern period (20th century), as Asian artists encountered Western styles and ideas and began to innovate, while still holding on to the key principles of ink practice. This research Fellowship will respond to Tate’s commitment to expand its ink collection and will contribute to forthcoming exhibitions and displays.

The Fellow will work with Tate colleagues to locate the practices of ink artists at the turn of modernity who sought to rethink, reclaim, and revive traditional techniques and philosophies. Together, we will attempt to grasp a more comprehensive story of ink’s development, beyond the prescribed temporalities and frameworks of Euro-American modernism.

The Fellow will live at the Delfina Foundation, London. They will work at Tate Modern but will also collaborate with colleagues across other Tate sites. The Fellow will also be able to work from Delfina Foundation, with a desk in their room as well as access to hot desking space.
