Since 2000, the ArtTable Fellowship program has addressed the marked lack of diversity in arts employment. The objective is to provide quality real-work experiences and mentorship for women-identifying and non-binary emerging professionals who self-identify as being from cultural, racial, ethnic, and/or socio-economic backgrounds generally underrepresented in the field. Individuals from LQBTQIA2S and/or disability communities are encouraged to apply. Three of the twenty positions are intended specifically for individuals identifying as Native American / Indigenous descent.
Applicants may be enrolled in undergraduate, graduate, or pre/post-doc programs or have recently graduated. Individuals returning to the field, especially after a period of absence due to circumstances such as elder care, early parenting, or military service, are encouraged to apply. Candidates should have lived experience, work experience, or academic experience in the fields required for each Host Organization’s project to which they wish to apply. Applicants of diverse backgrounds with demonstrated skills that are relevant to the field may apply regardless of their professional or academic history.

Each fellow will be awarded a $4,000 stipend fully covered by ArtTable, through its Impact Initiatives Fund, for the five-to-eight-week commitment during the summer (between June 1 and August 31, 2023). This year ArtTable fundraised to provide additional support, of a minimum of $300, to those fellows who will need to relocate for their fellowship. This is the first time, ArtTable will be able to offer a housing stipend.

During the paid, five-to-eight-week summer program, the fellows will work closely with established leaders in the field to gain exposure to a range of professional activities at leading museums and arts organizations. They also receive one-on-one mentoring from leading professionals who are ArtTable members and are specialized in their areas of interest. Selected candidates will be able to enjoy the benefits of an ArtTable Membership and will be welcome to attend ArtTable programs in their area.

The program, one of the longest-standing programs supporting diversity in the visual arts as a conscious effort to enrich and strengthen the visual arts field by supporting an inclusive and diverse professional landscape, has already supported 147 fellows across the country.
