Applications for the ArtsLink International Fellowship Program 2022 are now open. The program supports pioneering artists, curators, and arts leaders from CEC Artlink network countries in developing socially engaged practices in the US and at home.

The multi-year Fellowship offers a virtual research residency hosted by leading arts organizations in the US, including Puerto Rico, and supports the resulting collaborative projects in the US and the artists’ home countries. This unique 3-year approach fosters a long-term dialogue between artists and citizens across nations vital to the building of a global civil, compassionate and equitable society.

Funding from ArtsLink Fellowship Program

• ArtsLink International Fellowships award an initial honorarium to Fellows and US hosts to cover the research residency and support for the subsequent project in the US to cover visa and travel, food and lodging, health insurance, and up to 50% of production costs.
