Our application is in two sections

The First section collects basic information, helps us learn about your story, and has you specify your course interests.

The Second section WILL BE EMAILED TO YOU & include a dropbox link to submit 5 work samples.

 

Please follow the directions carefully when applying

The Image sheet should include title, size, date, and the option to include 1-2 sentences about the work. Please do not stress the images you provide and let that fill you with anxiety. Show us the work that excites you and gives us an opportunity to see how you think about your art.

Both sections of your application must be completed to be considered for these full Fellowships!

We are looking for artists and curators at every stage of their artistic life. We want artists that are passionate about the arts and willing to be vulnerable and listen as they learn.
