Fellowships

Arts for All awards fellowships to a select number of faculty and graduate students each year. Arts for All fellows are given funding support for their unique arts-based research projects and the opportunity to join a community of other fellows to share their expansive research and expertise. Our fellows serve as ambassadors of the Arts for All Initiative as they share their research activities publicly, all of which represent the breadth of Arts for All’s goals. Our Arts for All staff meet regularly with fellows individually and in small groups to discuss their research progress, offer guidance for next steps, provide suggestions for collaboration opportunities across campus and brainstorm creative ways to share their research with the public.

Announcements

Applications are now open for our 2025-26 Fellowship Cohort! 

Arts for All invites applications for the 2025-2026 Arts for All Fellowships. These cohorts (one for faculty and one for graduate students) will support the development and advancement of each fellow’s arts-based research. 

Arts for All is especially interested in supporting publicly-engaged research activities. With an expansive understanding of “publicly-engaged research,” research may include, but is not limited to, the following: 

• Interdisciplinary collaboration (on or off-campus) in which the arts are a central partner.
• Work that engages the arts with local communities or institutions.
• Activities that engage the arts to understand, document or explore social justice issues.
• Activities that engage the arts to understand and explore grand challenges.
• Activities that explore the intersection of arts and technology.
• The development of new courses that do any of the above.
