SeaPort Art Center for Curatorial Research is sustained through the ongoing activities of Dor Guez Munayer Studio in Athens, alongside the generous support of private donors. The Center operates independently, without reliance on external grants.
In September 2025, SeaPort established its Advisory Board, bringing together distinguished alumni and experienced curators. The board helps shape the program’s intellectual and curatorial direction, recommends future residents, and provides mentorship and feedback to support each participant’s evolving research. Through this structure, SeaPort reinforces its commitment to rigorous inquiry, interdisciplinary dialogue, and the continued development of both emerging and established practitioners.
