1. What is SeaPort Art Center for Curatorial Research?

SeaPort Art Center for Curatorial Research is an artist-led institution based in Athens, founded by artist Dor Guez Munayer. Dedicated to curatorial research and exchange, SeaPort brings together curators, artists, researchers, and institutions through its Curator’s Program and public programming, with the Mediterranean as a central field of inquiry.

2. What is the focus of the Curator’s Program?

SeaPort’s Curator’s Program welcomes emerging and established curators from around the world. Each residency is individually designed around the invited curator’s research, professional interests, and ongoing projects. In advance of each visit, the SeaPort team conducts extensive preparatory research and builds an individual schedule combining studio visits, professional meetings, independent research, and encounters with artists, scholars, institutions, collections, and sites in Athens.

3. How can I apply for a residency at SeaPort?

Curators join the program through recommendations from members of SeaPort’s Advisory Board as well as through direct applications. Curators interested in participating are welcome to contact us through our Contact page. SeaPort welcomes applications regardless of national origin, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, or disability.

4. Who is part of the SeaPort team?

SeaPort’s team is based in Athens and works closely with its Advisory Board and institutional partners. We currently provide support in English, Greek, and Spanish. Our team brings together different professional, cultural, linguistic, and personal perspectives that contribute to the development of the Center and its programs.

5. What kind of public programming does SeaPort offer?

Alongside the Curator’s Program, SeaPort hosts lectures, film screenings, conversations, workshops, performances, and other public events. Residents may also develop public formats in relation to their research, bringing visiting curators into dialogue with artists, students, researchers, and audiences in Athens.

6. How is SeaPort funded?

SeaPort is an independent art center sustained through the ongoing activities of the Dor Guez Munayer Studio in Athens, together with the support of private donors. The Center operates without reliance on external institutional funding while maintaining collaborations with institutions and partners in Athens and internationally.
