2025 ArtTable Fellowship

ABOUT THE ARTTABLE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM:
Since 2000, the ArtTable Fellowship Program has addressed the marked lack of diversity in arts
employment. Now in our 25th year, we aim to provide quality, real-life work experiences and
mentorship for graduate/pre/post-doc students and emerging professionals from backgrounds
generally underrepresented in the field to aid their transition from academic to profession
careers.

Each Fellow will be awarded a $4,000 stipend fully covered by ArtTable, through its Impact
Initiatives Fund, for the five-to-eight-week commitment during the summer (between June 2 a
August 29, 2025). ArtTable will offer an optional housing stipend of up to $500 for qualifying
Fellows who must relocate or travel for their Fellowship.

During the paid, five-to-eight-week summer program, the Fellows will work closely with
established leaders in the field to gain exposure to a range of professional activities at leading
museums and arts organizations. They also receive one-on-one mentoring from leading
professionals who are ArtTable members and are specialized in their areas of interest. Selected
candidates will be able to enjoy the benefits of an ArtTable Membership and will be welcome to
attend any of ArtTable’s programs during their Fellowship.

ArtTable has supported 183 Fellows, partnered with 98 leading art organizations nationwide,
and has dispersed over $665,000+ since the Fellowship’s inception.
