The Fresh Pages Diversity Initiative: Guest Curatorship for Underrepresented Writers

The Quebec Writers’ Federation is delighted to announce the call for applications for a guest curatorship of the Words & Music Show in January 2020. The curatorship, which is a component of QWF’s Fresh Pages Diversity Initiative, is designed to help an aspiring literary artist who is Black, Indigenous, or a person of colour develop skills in creating and curating literary and other arts events. The selected candidate will receive a modest honorarium and a free one-year membership in QWF.
The selected candidate will work with Ian Ferrier, long-time curator of the QWF Words & Music Show, to curate their own literary, musical, and performance event, from defining the event-to-be to selecting and inviting performers, gathering bios and other info, writing press releases and structuring and presenting a live show.
