The *Young Curators Program* offers the opportunity to propose and curate a project on the contemporary debate in architecture, urbanism, and landscape design during a residency of 3 months at the CCA and the *Power Corporation of Canada Curatorial Internships Program* encourages students and recent graduates in design disciplines, arts and humanities to become acquainted with the CCA's collection, exhibition, and research programs through an internship of 6 to 9 months in Montréal. The initiative reinforces the CCA's leadership role in the specialized and changing field of architectural curatorial practice. By hosting the Curatorial Opportunities Program for the second year, the CCA is recognizing curatorial practice as an emerging critical component of the architectural profession and a complement to academic programs while reinforcing the skills of the next generation of students. "We are sharing our expertise, resources and archives with this young generation of talented graduates who benefit from this unique educational opportunity, as much as the institution will be inspired by their talent," says *Mirko Zardini*, Director and Chief Curator of the CCA. Zardini himself was recently named as a *2012 Game Changer* by Metropolis magazine for his work on leading a series of groundbreaking and provocative exhibitions that have set new standards for architectural exhibitions, an approach that has presented a critical view of the field itself, with a self-analytical rather than celebratory model of curating architecture. Last year, the CCA received over 250 international applications in response to the inaugural open call. *Dan Handel* was the 2011 Young Curator who was selected for his project entitled "First, the forests" that will be on view at CCA in fall 2012. Handel's proposal is based on modern forestry's relationship to architecture and landscape design, and his curatorial intent is to reintroduce the forest in the design discourse. *Marta Masferrer Juliol*, an architect and graduate of the Escola Technica Superior d'Arquitectura de Barcelona and *Cerys Wilson*, a photographer and a recent Masters graduate of the History of Photography from the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, were selected as the 2011 Power Corporation of Canada Curatorial interns. The two were selected based on the originality of the statement of intent, potential for professional development, and connection with the curatorial direction and vision of the CCA. The call for applications for both the Young Curators Program and the Power Corporation of Canada Curatorial Internships Program will remain open until 27 April 2012, with the residency and internship commencing in the fall 2012.
