Call for applications to The Starr Fellowship at the Royal Academy Schools in London. The Starr Fellowship is a, one year, fixed term, artist residency at the Royal Academy Schools for a visual artist who is a US national.

The fellow is provided with a studio, access to the postgraduate programme of lectures and talks, seminars, technical facilities and expertise, and the RA’s extensive Collection, Library and Archive.
