FELLOWS Award

Annually advancing the impact of 50 artists and their creative responses to pressing social issues through thematic programmes.

FELLOWS Award

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.

From 2024 June 1, we have changed the Mentorship Award title to Fellows Award. While programmes we run together with our partners as part of this Award remain unchanged, throughout the years we observed that the Mentorship title did not reflect the complexities of each programme we have been developing.
