NXTHVN Studio and Curatorial Fellowships

Each June, NXTHVN welcomes up to seven artists, two curators, and eight New Haven high school students to its annual Fellowship and Apprenticeship programs. Through a proprietary curriculum that focuses on mentorship, professional development, and skills training, members of the cohort cultivate their individual practices within a collaborative, community-driven context. Each fellow mentors a local high school apprentice, providing them with hands-on instruction in studio and curatorial practices. During the 11-month fellowship, Fellows receive a $20,000 stipend disbursed quarterly, optional, partially-subsidized housing in Dixwell, New Haven and dedicated work and/or studio space with 24-hour access, among other benefits.
