The Structurist Creative Research Fellowship (SCRF) was established to carry forward the critical intentions of _The Structurist_: an international, interdisciplinary journal founded in 1960 by Eli Bornstein that addresses art, architecture, ecology, culture, and communication. From its inaugural issue, the journal became increasingly concerned with the relationship between art and ecology, and the ways in which creative practices are required and necessary in preserving and protecting our threatened ecospheres. The SCRF supports work that contributes to this discursive field in active and contemporary ways and works to thicken, rather than mythologize, the journal’s prevailing ethos.

The SCRF is available to individuals pursuing research and creative work engaged in the thematics and intersections brought forward in _The Structurist_. The urgency of these connections and the potential of investigation therein is heightened in this historical moment of climate death, migrant crises, and divisive global policies.

Projects must culminate in a form that will be available to the public, such as:

* Publication
* Exhibition
* Film or other media
* Actions
* Performance

While the above may necessarily occur elsewhere or online, supported projects must also include a seminar, symposium, or public lecture in Saskatoon, Canada, and will be facilitated by the University of Saskatchewan Art Galleries and Collections team.

  
Fellows will have full access to University of Saskatchewan archives pertaining to _The Structurist_, as well as the University of Saskatchewan Art Collection.

  

**Proposed projects will have a budget up to 20,000 CAD.** Costs associated with travel and accommodations for Saskatoon-based components are separate from that allocation.
