Report on curators’ working conditions

Bringing Art to Audiences – Curators’ Working Conditions in Sweden

The report, conducted by the Swedish Curators’ Association during the winter of 2022-2023, was based on a comprehensive survey addressing the working conditions, needs, and demands of professional curators active in Sweden. Its primary objective was to provide an initial assessment of the professional environment faced by curators. The findings aim to deepen understanding of curators’ roles and working conditions, while also serving as a foundation for the association’s continued efforts to advocate for and support the curatorial profession.

This report was commissioned by the Swedish Curators’ Association in September 2023.
