The ArtsLink International Fellowships program supports pioneering artists, curators, and arts leaders from our network countries in developing their community-engaged practices in the US and transnationally. The program emphasizes the value of independent artist networks and sustained dialogue around the urgent issues facing our societies.

The multi-phase fellowship offers an online research residency hosted by leading arts organizations in the US, including Puerto Rico, and supports a subsequent in person immersive residency in the US, which may result in a follow-up project in the artist’s home country. This unique three-phase approach fosters long-term dialogue between artists and citizens across nations vital to the building of a global civil, compassionate and equitable society.

In person residencies respond to Fellows’ unique interests and the research and networking they have already developed during their online residencies. They provide an opportunity for Fellows to engage on the ground with both formal and informal connections with people, archives, collections, and other resources most relevant to expanding their practices. Hosts welcome Fellows to their cities, often inviting them to engage with public-facing and internal programs taking place on site at their organizations and across communities.
