Center for Arts + Social Justice Fellowship Info Session

We are holding an Information Session next Tuesday, August 9, at 1 pm ET for any current VCFA students interested in applying for or learning more about the Center for Arts + Social Justice’s two Fellowship Grant opportunities in 2022.

Register here to join the info session via Zoom.

The following Center Fellowship applications are now open and will close on September 1, 2022:

• The Center for Arts + Social Justice Fellowship Grant is a $2,000 one-time award, available annually to one student from each program to support work and/or practice at the juncture of arts and social justice.

• The Center for Arts + Social Justice Thesis Grant is a $5,000 grant awarded to two students annually to support thesis work focused on a social justice issue. In recognition of the Center’s mission, priority will be given to projects that seek to create community-based change through the arts, and/or show the potential for future community impact.

These grants were created to celebrate and provide support to students whose work shows a commitment to social justice, and to create a networking opportunity for recipients. Recipients will participate in two presentation workshops to share their current work in progress with other Center Fellows and select VCFA community members. Recipients will be featured on the Center for Arts + Social Justice website and join a network of Center Fellows. Thesis Fellowship grantees will present their work to a college-wide audience following the completion of their thesis.

Applicants for both awards must be currently enrolled and in good academic standing. The application deadline is September 1, and awards will be announced in early October. Both applications are available here.

If you are unable to attend the information session, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly to us at [email protected], or set up a call with Jericho Parms, VP for Institutional Advancement, who can help address any questions.
