FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Lectures and panel discussions are open to the public. Most of the week, however, is occupied by closed seminars, which are attended by 15 Fellows chosen in an international competition.There are 6 hours of seminars each day, with up to 1,500 pages of assigned readings, circulated in advance.The full schedule of closed seminar topics is available as a pdf, here. (Note: the schedule on this pdf is provisional.)

Fellowships are available, which cover airfare, and all Fellows are eligible for School of the Art Institute housing. Applications are invited from advanced graduate students, faculty, artists, and administrators. In 2007, the competition was difficult, with an applications to admissions ratio of 13 to 1; in 2008 the ratio was 19 to 1; in 2009, over 20 to 1.
