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.
We are seeking a researcher who will explore different residency models that embed socially engaged practice and community building at their heart, whilst also actively engaging with climate and social justice, developing international partnerships and networks, and connecting with a diversity of cultures and communities (including indigenous communities). They will work collaboratively and openly to inform and inspire the development of an environmentally and financially sustainable framework for the Artists Programme.
Living and working arrangements
The Fellow will live at Delfina Foundation, London. As well as a desk within their room and access to hot desking space at Delfina Foundation, they will also have access to working space at Tate London sites.
The Fellow will be supported to visit Tate St Ives throughout the six months of the Fellowship, as well as engaging regularly online with St Ives based hosts. This way of working reflects a hybrid in-person and online working model that is already in place within the Programme Team at Tate St Ives and more widely across Tate.
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.
Living and working arrangements
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.
The successful candidates will receive:
• A six-month Fellowship commencing in June 2025, with either Tate St Ives (Programmes Fellow) or Tate Modern (Curatorial Fellow), with supported travel to the other Tate galleries across the UK (Tate Liverpool and Tate Britain) and other UK cultural institutions.
• Participation in the residency programme at Delfina Foundation, with funding in the form of:
o A return economy-class flight
o Airport transfers in the UK
o Reimbursement of visa fee (if required) – successful candidates will be supported through the process of obtaining the visa
o A living allowance bursary of £40 per day
o Local travel pass for London Underground and buses
o A single bedroom at Delfina Foundation – a house which hosts up to 8 residents with shared facilities, including: bathrooms, laundry rooms, a kitchen, library and dining room.
• Access to Tate’s collection, archive, staff and networks.
• Opportunities to present on the Fellow’s practice at Tate and Delfina Foundation events and contribute to wider activities at both organisations.
• Opportunities to collaborate and convene with Tate and Delfina Foundation colleagues and exchange with wider UK partners in the British art sector.
