Creative Fellowship: Digital Practice

Deadline: May 31, 2026

Updated: 23 April 2026

Wolfsonian creative fellowships invite artists of all kinds to immerse themselves in the collection and draw visual, conceptual, or storytelling inspiration from its wide range of historical materials. Grounded in the museum's exploration of modernity and visual culture from 1850 to 1950, the fellowship encourages creative research that connects historical ideas to contemporary practice. For the 2026–27 cycle, proposals are encouraged for projects involving, but not limited to, animation, moving image, generative media, sound-based work, or other experimental formats.

Who can apply: The fellowship is open to creatives with a demonstrated record of accomplishment working in visual, time-based, performative, or digital media. Applicants from a wide range of disciplines are encouraged to apply, particularly those interested in research-driven practice and interdisciplinary experimentation. Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents.

What you get: All fellows receive: A stipend ($1000-$1,500), round-trip travel, accommodations (if non-local), access to the collection and collections staff.
