Annually advancing the impact of 50 artists and their creative responses to pressing social issues through thematic programmes.
The Fellows Award provides mid-career artists the opportunity to accelerate socially engaged practices and foster connections among creatives working on similar themes. Fellows receive €10.000 to invest in the further growth of their practice alongside opportunities to expand their work's impact.
Structured into themed, regional, and interdisciplinary programmes, each in collaboration with a partner organization, the Fellows Award engages participants in year-long collaborative learning with carefully chosen mentors, guest speakers and workshops, both online and in person.
