Ping Chong and Company Call for Creative Fellows 2022

Fellowship Period: May 1 – December 31, 2022

Ping Chong and Company seeks two Creative Fellows to be artists-in-residence. Fellowships are opportunities for artists of color from traditionally underrepresented communities to be part of the Company and be commissioned to create new work inspired by, and in response to, the Company’s past works embodied in its archive. 

This is a good opportunity for early career artists who have a track record of at least two previously generated interdisciplinary works that have been shared publicly and created outside of an undergraduate program. Fellows will join PCC at a pivotal moment as we mark the 50th anniversary of Ping Chong’s career as an artist.

Fellowships run from May 1 to December 31, 2022. Fellows receive total financial support of $28,000: a monthly $2,500 stipend over eight months, a $3,000 commission fee, and a $5000 development budget to go toward creation of new work.

To apply, complete and submit the application form by March 31, 2022 , 11:59pm.
