2024–2025 fellowships
Our Fellowship program is a one month long activity intensive creative catalyst that takes artists through an active schedule of some 70 diverse activities in a new and generally distant location. Fellows are presented with new ideas through taking part in volunteer activities, workshops, psychotherapy and non-career related meetings along with experiences and an opportunity to think in a non-directed way. Participants are selected by people they know, in their home country who are familiar with their work, their culture, and their “need” for this unorthodox challenge.
