Art and Politics Fellowships

Vera List Center Accepting Art and Politics Fellowships
Founded in 1992 and named in honor of the late philanthropist, the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at the New School in New York City is dedicated to serving as a catalyst for discourse on the role of the arts in society and their relationship to the sociopolitical climate in which they are created.
The Vera List Center Fellowships support individuals whose work advances the discourse on art and politics. The appointments provide the opportunity to further develop such work drawing from the academic resources of the New School, to expand on the work in collaboration with students and classes, and to bring it to the public through the Vera List Center’s interdisciplinary programs. Fellowship projects are selected following an open call for applications and relate to the current curatorial focus theme, “post democracy.” Projects can result in performances, concerts, exhibitions, lectures, online artworks, archives, or publications.
Two fellowships will be awarded, each spanning ten months. The fellowship is part-time, non-residential, and carries a $10,000 stipend. Each fellowship is highly individualized, depending on the project. The fellows are supported by a student research assistant, have access to a wide range of New School activities, and enjoy extensive library privileges. Meetings and informal gatherings with New School faculty, past fellows, and other constituencies will be provided on a regular basis to supply opportunities for professional as well as social exchanges. Curatorial, organizational, and financial support is provided for public presentations of the fellowship project.
Journalists, scholars, visual and performing artists, critics, public intellectuals, curators, and cultural practitioners working in any field in which they engage art and politics are encouraged to apply.

DEADLINE: AUGUST 3, 2015
