2021 Art of Practice Fellowship

The Interdisciplinary Program’s pilot Art of Practice Fellowship will focus on newly convened communities, offering opportunity, exploration, and inclusive recovery. Rooted in the qualitative research with artists and field leaders that helped shape the program’s design, including the commissioned Emerging from the Cave field study, the Art of Practice Fellowship uses long-standing Institute program infrastructures as a foundation. Testing, prototyping, and co-creating, the fellowship keeps a generous community of unique voices at its heart.

With the goals of expanding and strengthening artists’ overall creative practice, fellows will engage in peer-to-peer and peer-to-mentor conversations, have the opportunity for in-person residencies at MASS MoCA and UCross Foundation, have access to granting and a developing online collaboration and timebanking application, and gather virtually to further social, career, and project needs.
