CORE Fellowship
Deadline: 1 April, 2011
The Core program awards one-year residencies to exceptional, highly motivated visual artists and critical writers who have completed their undergraduate or graduate training but have not yet developed professional careers. Established in 1982, the Core Program encourages intensive studio practice as well as an intellectual framework for understanding that practice. Residents engage in ongoing dialogue with one another and with a wide range of leading artists, critics, and curators who visit the program throughout the year. The Core term, which follows an academic calendar, starts in September and ends in May; residents may apply for a second term.
Residents receive a $10,000 stipend, health insurance coverage, 24-hour access to a private studio or office, and borrowing privileges at the museum’s Hirsch Library and Rice University’s Fondren Library. Critical studies residents are also provided a networked computer and may submit a proposal to curate their own show at the MFAH or Glassell School of Art during their second year. In March, a yearbook featuring essays by the critical studies residents is published and the artists mount a group show of their work in the main gallery of the Glassell School. In their second year, artists become eligible to receive the Long Prize, a $10,000 unrestricted grant.
