RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT FELLOWSHIP

S.O.U.R.C.E. Studio’s Research & Development Fellowship supports artists in developing a bold and poetic project that catalyzes opportunities for connection and liberation.

Over the course of a year, we closely with the artist Fellow, providing thought partnership, administrative support, and a $25,000 grant to deepen and build a program of engagement that invites collaborators and the public to gather around the central questions of the project.

The R&D Fellowship is modeled after the collaborative, imaginative, and expansive explorations of our founder Mel Chin. We embrace process and meaningful collaboration–where each meeting, conversation, and all the left turns and moments of pause are integral parts of the artistic endeavor. The Fellow is awarded $15,000 in unrestricted funding, with $10,000 of additional funding for research, programs, and gatherings, as well as close thought partnership with the SOURCE Studio team, including Mel Chin.
