Fellowship Program
12-Month Artist Fellowships
Please note that Fellowship applications for 2024 are now closed.
More about applying below.
The Fellowships provide emerging artists, age 21- 40, opportunities to participate in a vibrant, nonprofit gallery with an experienced gallery staff and practicing artist members.
Fellowship support is reciprocal, and, in that regard, we look forward to what Fellows bring to the gallery by way of fresh artistic expression. It is our hope that Fellowship opportunities will work as a catalyst for accelerated artistic growth for Fellows and Artist Members alike.
GRO Fellows have an opportunity to show their work in up to 6 exhibitions including one solo show and one 2-person show and will receive a $1000 stipend to offset the associated costs. Fellows are high-lighted in GRO marketing and promotions.
