Surdna Arts Teachers Fellowship Program Announces Application Deadline

The Surdna Foundation announces the ninth year of a national initiative to support the artistic revitalization of outstanding arts teachers in public arts high schools. Surdna recognizes that arts teachers often lack the time and resources to reconnect with other arts professionals and with the artistic processes they teach. Through the Surdna Arts Teachers Fellowship Program, Fellows will design individualized courses of study that will provide both immersion in their own creative work and the opportunity to interact with other professional artists in their fields.

Twenty awards of up to $5,500 each, with a complementary grant of $1,500 to the Fellow's school to support post-fellowship activities, will be made. The fellowship award may be used to defray the costs of tuition and other fees, room and board, travel, purchase of materials and/or equipment for personal art-making, childcare and other relevant expenses.

Action: The deadline to submit an online letter of intent to apply is November 14 at 4:00pm. Visit the Surdna Foundation website for complete application guidelines and materials.
