2017 Three-Month Fellowship Application
In 2017, the CGCA will offer 3-month fellowships from April 19 – July 19. The three-month, Spring Fellowships are no longer available to former CGCA Fellows. Only artists who have never been through the program may apply for three-month sessions. All artists can apply for a short-term, project-based Fellowship to take place during scheduled times within the months of September – December. However, we request new artists choose one or the other.
During their Fellowships, artists have the use of private studios and excellent facilities within a respectful sanctuary of concentrated time.
This is an exceptional opportunity for artists to utilize one of the finest facilities of the glass medium, known internationally. Not only do artists get exceptional access to these facilities and various process mediums, but they also receive stipends, the use of private studios, technical assistance, comfortable housing and institutional support. In addition, they are embraced by a dedicated and warm staff, all on a beautiful 50+ acre campus that is truly a creative sanctuary.
The 3- Month, Spring Session Dates are April 19 – July 19, 2017
