FOR IN-REGION ARTISTS TO COME TO HARVARD
Visiting Artist Fellowship – Apply by May 24, 2022
The LMSAI Visiting Artist Fellowship is a unique opportunity for mid-career visual artists from around South Asia to spend eight weeks on the Harvard campus. The VAF differs from a typical artist residency program in that it is research-centered, providing artists with the vast resources of Harvard’s intellectual community to enhance their artistic practice. VAFs spend their time on campus researching a topic of their choice, guided by a Harvard faculty mentor, as well as presenting a solo show of past work at the Mittal Institute. The experience aims to help South Asian artists deepen their work and the themes they explore, while exchanging ideas with the university community.
