Princeton awards fellowships to artists whose achievements have been recognized as demonstrating extraordinary promise in any area of artistic practice and teaching. Applicants should be early career visual artists, filmmakers, poets, novelists, playwrights, designers, directors, and performance artists who would find it beneficial spending two years in a university community. The current application cycle is open to applications in writing, theatre, and visual arts.

Hodder Fellowships at Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts
