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.

- Curatorial Fellows will each receive a 45,000 USD stipend
- Studio Fellows will each receive a 35,000 USD stipend
