ABOUT

The RMIT Curatorial Collective is a creative-led platform for contemporary art, curatorial experimentation, and cultural exchange. We warmly welcome both students and emerging or professional artists who are interested in joining an active, collaborative environment.

Here, participants come together to develop exhibitions, public programs, and critical dialogues—building real-world curatorial experience while growing networks across art, design, and cultural practice. It’s a space for testing ideas, sharing perspectives, and learning through making.

 

Whether you are a student or a practicing artist, we invite you to apply, get involved, and be part of a supportive and inspiring community shaping contemporary curatorial practice!
