The VOYAGER Fellowship stems from deep empathy for those who go through the VISA process. This fellowship is geared toward supporting the cultural sharing and diversity of our arts field in New York with international artists to the United States. The Fellow must be applying for their O-1 visa in the year of the award in which the $1,000 financial stipend is geared towards. In partnership with multiple organizations and individuals, the Fellow will be supported with access to VISA application workshop(s), performance/choreographic opportunities, and receive a letter of recommendation from Obremski/Works Founder/Artistic Director Jesse Obremski.
