2022 ArtTable Fellowship Program

Are you or someone you know seeking career opportunities in the visual arts? Apply to the 2022 ArtTable Fellowship Program!

Established in 2000, the ArtTable Fellowship program addresses the marked lack of diversity in arts employment and provides quality real work experiences and mentorship to women-identifying students and/or emerging professionals from backgrounds generally underrepresented in the visual arts field, to aid their transition from academic to professional careers in the visual arts. During the paid, five-to-eight week program, the fellows will work closely with established leaders in the field to gain exposure to a range of professional activities at first class leading museums and arts organizations. They also receive one-on-one mentoring from professionals working in their areas of interest that are ArtTable members.

Each fellow is awarded a $4,000 stipend fully covered by ArtTable through the generous support of individuals and organizations for the five to eight-week commitment between June 1 and August 31, 2022.
