The Fellowship is intended to increase diversity, equity, and access across the field of the ceramic arts. The explicit goal of the Artaxis Fellowship program is to increase the visibility of unique perspectives across the field. This year, we offered two fellowships, each one worth up to $2,425, to fund a two-week summer workshop in ceramics at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. The fellowships will cover room, board, and tuition for a two-week workshop, and a $500 stipend.
We received 59 applications that were reviewed by the Artaxis Board of Directors, and juried by our Fellowship Selection Committee – Jonathan Christensen Caballero, Habiba El-Sayed, and Eugene Ofori Agyei. These three prominent members of the field poured over the applications and deliberated to select just two recipients for the award.
A big THANK YOU goes out to Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, the Fellowship Selection Committee, to all of the applicants and congratulations to this year’s recipients, Alvaro and Lucky!
