Folger Shakespeare Library is the world’s largest Shakespeare collection, the ultimate resource for exploring Shakespeare and his world. The Folger provides unparalleled access to a huge array of resources, from original sources to modern interpretations.
The Folger Institute Artist Research Fellowship is open to artists working in all media whose work would benefit from significant primary research. This includes, but is not limited to, visual artists, writers, dramaturgs, playwrights, performers, filmmakers, and composers.
Resources and benefits:
- Access to Folger electronic resources and Researcher Services consultation.
- Opportunities to meet virtually with Folger Theatre, Consort, and Poetry professionals, as well as Folger curators, librarians, and conservators, as relevant.
- Participation in scholarly and community-building programs with other Folger Fellows.
- Exposure on the Folger website, social media, and newsletters.
- J1 Visa sponsorship, if needed.
In 2022–2023, all Artist Research Fellowships will be non-residential. Awards are $3500 for four weeks of work away from the Folger.
