the jan and frank cicero artist-in-residence fellowship

The Jan and Frank Cicero Artist-in-Residence Fellowship offers one month of support for a person working in the visual and performing arts who wishes to benefit from the Newberry’s collections and its scholarly community to advance their artistic practice.

The Newberry encourages applications from a wide range of artists and performers, including - but not limited to - painters, sculptors, choreographers; dramaturgs, creative writers, composers and others in artistic fields.

Applicants should explain specific collections at the Newberry that will be investigated in support of their artistic vision and explain the expected product that would result.

This fellowship is intended to support one month in residence at the Newberry.

Awardees may choose to distribute their time over six months on a flexible basis to be determined in conversation with Newberry staff.
