CPR programs are developed in cities where occasions for curatorial access and research are less self-evident - in some cases, non-existent - than in the world’s major art cities. By creating opportunities to open up these specific cultural scenes from the inside out, they lift themselves out of the periphery and healthy networks are fostered. CPR effectively brokers relationships between participating curators and art professionals on the ground, resulting in greater visibility for the city’s art scene worldwide. The overriding aim is to create international opportunities for artists, organizations and curators, and in doing so enhance inter-cultural dialogue and mutual understanding.

In 2016, four groups of up to ten curators will travel to conduct research. During our fully funded Core Programs, CPR provides an in depth, custom oriented research schedule, directed by a local CPR host. Each program lasts for up to six days per city, and encompasses 3 to 4 cities. Merging academia with on site research, CPR local hosts welcome the groups with an intensive program that includes readings and classes about local history, arts and culture, as well as studio visits and other local art institutions and endeavors. During the Core Program, CPR curators in residence are required to present and discuss articles, papers, and essays related to their daily visits.
