The fellowships provide student artists and writers the opportunity to have the time and space for reflection and immersion in a natural environment and creative community at the Institute, so that they can develop their talent and create inspiring work. Mentors will work with student fellows to foster their growth and development. A total of 8-10 fellowships along with two mentors will be awarded for 2022.
