NXTHVN’s annual open call for Studio and Curatorial Fellowships is open through Monday, February 26th. Founded by Titus Kaphar and Jason Price in 2018, NXTHVN was designed with a core aim to build an alternative model of arts mentorship and career acceleration through a specially designed curriculum. Each year NXTHVN welcomes up to seven artists and two curators to participate in its paid 10-month intensive Fellowship Program.
Each Fellow will receive studio or office space, a stipend, and subsidized housing. Selected from an international pool of applicants, Fellows relocate to New Haven to participate in NXTHVN’s mentorship-driven curriculum which includes professional development sessions led by visiting artists, curators, scholars, and practitioners. Selected Fellows are also matched with a high school Apprentice, for focused one-on-one mutual learning, which gives the next local generation a chance to grow and excel in creative fields. The Fellowship year culminates with an annual group show at a prominent gallery space.
NXTHVN encourages and welcomes applicants of all backgrounds to apply for the Fellowships. We do not discriminate based on age, race, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, religion, marital status, or nation of origin in our admission policies.
In 2024, NXTHVN will welcome its sixth cohort of Fellows from August 2024–May 2025. The Fellowship Application is available online at nxthvn.com/apply. All application materials must be submitted by end of day, February 26, 2024 online through Submittable. Selected applicants will be notified in April 2024.
Please direct any application questions to hello@nxthvn.com
We look forward to welcoming Cohort 06!
