In a new partnership Jerwood Foundation has awarded The Glasgow School of Art a grant to launch Jerwood Curatorial Fellowship at the Glasgow School of Art. The fellowship seeks to foster diverse voices by offering emerging curators in Scotland their first supported exhibition in an institutional setting. Each of the fellows will be offered a period of research and access to a production budget to develop and stage a public exhibition with an event at The Reid Gallery, The Glasgow School of Art, supported by GSA Exhibitions.

For this first year, the Jerwood Curatorial Fellow will curate an exhibition that draws on both the Jerwood Collection and GSA Archives and Collections.

The Jerwood Fellowship is based on a 24-day residency period, from late Sept 2025 to April 2026.

About Jerwood Foundation
Established in 1977 for John Jerwood MC (1918-1991) by Alan Grieve CBE (1928-2025), Jerwood Foundation is a UK charity committed to supporting excellence and emerging talent in the arts in the UK. Alan Grieve served as Chairman for over 30 years and was appointed Chairman Emeritus in 2023, when Rupert Tyler was appointed Chairman. The organisation is led by Lara Wardle, Executive Director and Trustee and to date Jerwood Foundation has committed over £113 million to support the arts in the UK.

Jerwood Foundation owns the Jerwood Collection of modern and contemporary art, and an important part of Jerwood’s philanthropic mission is delivered by the Collection through its loaning programme and promotion of a broader understanding, interpretation and enjoyment of art. Also included in the Jerwood group of organisations is Jerwood Space, which was Jerwood’s first major capital project when established by Jerwood Foundation in Southwark in 1998. Jerwood Space is a dedicated rehearsal space providing theatre, musical theatre, opera and dance companies with an outstanding environment within which to create their work.
