cuban migrant artists resilience fellowship

As the struggles faced by so many Cuban artists are compounded by the burden of exile and migration, ARC – Artists at Risk Connection has launched the call for the third edition of the Cuban Migrant Artists Resilience Fellowship.

The core objective of the six-month fellowship (from January to June 2026) is to extend a resilience grant to 10 artists, enabling them to embark on art projects that serve as catalysts for universal values such as artistic freedom, cultural rights, human rights, gender equality, and more.

Beyond financial support, the fellowship is designed to offer an array of specialised tools and resources to aid Cuban migrant artists as they navigate their new professional lives abroad. Embracing the challenges of a new cultural environment, they will receive the guidance and mentorship to foster their artistic growth and development. Moreover, ARC will help artists to establish robust networks within a global artistic community, fostering collaborations and connections that transcend geographical divides.
