NXTHVN is thrilled to announce that the Open Call for 2021-2022 Studio and Curatorial Fellowships has officially begun as of July 1, 2020. Each year, NXTHVN welcomes up to seven artists, two curators, and eight New Haven high school students to its annual Fellowship and Apprenticeship programs.
Open call ends on November 1 at 11:59pm. Click here to Apply now, or visit nxthvn.submittable.com.
Through a unique curriculum that focuses on mentorship, professional development, and skills training, members of the cohort cultivate their individual practices within a collaborative, community-driven context. Each fellow mentors a local high school apprentice, providing them with hands-on instruction in studio and curatorial practices. Through active participation in NXTHVN’s year-long programs, early-career artists and curators make the personal strides and interpersonal connections that advance their careers.
