A reminder that ARC’s 2021 Poetry Fellowship application<\/strong> is due this Sunday, November 15th at 11:59pm PST!\u00a0To apply, please click here.<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

UC Berkeley\u2019s Arts Research Center<\/strong> (ARC) is spending two years exploring Poetry and the Senses<\/strong>, thanks to a generous grant from the\u00a0Engaging the Senses Foundation<\/strong>. The program is grounded in the relevance and urgency of lyrical making and storytelling in times of political crisis, and the value of engaging the senses as an act of care, mindfulness, and resistance. We support poetry in its broadest definition<\/strong>; our fellows have had connections with English and Comparative Literature; Theater, Dance and Performance Studies; Art Practice; Berkeley Center for New Media; Global Urban Humanities; Native American Studies; Spanish & Portuguese; Music; and Near Eastern Studies departments at UC Berkeley. Amplifying under-represented voices is part of ARC\u2019s bigger mission. To learn more about the program, click here<\/a>.<\/strong>

\nModeled on the pre-existing ARC Fellows Program, the core of the grant funds horizontal working groups that bring together UC Berkeley faculty, graduate students, undergraduate students, and local community poets. Each group will convene over a semester<\/strong> to share creative work, research, discussion, and critique, organized around a wide-ranging theme. Students are able to earn 1 credit for participation if desired.<\/p>\n

The application portal is now open for the spring 2021 fellowship, January \u2013 May 2021<\/strong>. Eight fellows <\/strong>will be chosen, two in each category of faculty, grad, undergrad, and community poet. Each fellow will receive a $3,000 stipend for the semester.<\/strong><\/p>\n
