Tate, in collaboration with Delfina Foundation, invites applications for the Brooks International Fellowship Programme 2025. The programme will enable visual arts professionals to work with Tate colleagues for six months in 2025, complemented by activities at Delfina Foundation.

About the Brooks International Fellowship
Since 2014, Brooks International Fellows have been at the forefront of research at Tate, showcasing the range of research activity taking place across the organisation. These international visual arts professionals have collaborated with Tate in a range of disciplines including curatorial, learning, community and partnerships, collection care, research and interpretation, digital practice and visitor communications.
The Fellowship Programme supports two research Fellows a year to work with a Tate host team. The Fellowship is envisaged as a mutually beneficial cultural and professional exchange. It allows the Fellows, who are established practitioners, to bring their expertise of working in other regions to Tate, whilst also giving them the opportunity to learn from the cultural sector in the UK.
To date, Tate and Delfina Foundation have hosted 22 Brooks International Fellows from Aotearoa New Zealand, Argentina, Barbados, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Mexico, Netherlands, Pakistan, Portugal, Thailand, Turkey, and the USA.
Tate is proud to partner with the Delfina Foundation, who offer a London-based residency for the Fellowship. Brooks International Fellows benefit from the Foundation’s international residency programme, contributing to its programme by presenting on their research or practice to a range of audiences.
Fully-funded Brooks International Fellowships are made possible by the generous support of the Rory and Elizabeth Brooks Foundation.
