EXPLORe new art-sci pathways for wildlife conservation with funding and support
We provide stipends for artists, designers, scientists, and writers for projects to support their creative process, including making art informed by science that inspires conservation action. Successful applicants receive feedback and guidance from our program leaders and, free access to our online workshops for a full year. Stipend amounts range from $500 to $1500 per project. The only exception is the Curatorial Fellow - Virtual; the selected Fellow will receive a $1500 stipend and should include a budget request for up to $800 in materials/production costs. See also this link: Curatorial Fellowship Program details.
The Scholarship Program Application below requires that the scholar propose a specific project as the focus of their exploration; this can be an existing or new project. Funds can be spent on creative time, art supplies, logistical support, travel, and conference fees. A basic budget is required.
APPLICATIONS CLOSE APRIL 30.
Successful applicants will be notified by early June. All projects must be completed within 6 months.
We expect all recipients to document and share their project process and outcomes, send supply a testimonial/impact statement about the value of their experience and plans for continued art-sci work on projects related to wildlife conservation, and provide an expense report. We ask for digital formats so we can share your success with others.
