The organisation NXTHVN welcomes up to seven artists and two curators to participate in its paid 10-month intensive Fellowship Programme in New Haven, USA.

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.

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.

NXTHVN’s fellowships include:

  • Curatorial Fellows will each receive a 45,000 USD stipend
  • Studio Fellows will each receive a 35,000 USD stipend
  • Optional, subsidised housing in the Dixwell Neighborhood of New Haven
  • Dedicated work and/or studio space with 24-hour access
  • Monthly professional development sessions
  • Access to NXTHVN’s professional network of field experts and guest speakers
  • Culminating exhibitions for Curatorial Fellows and Studio Fellows
  • An annual publication featuring writing and work by the Fellows and Apprentices
  • Opportunity to design and participate in artist-led projects and public programming
