Haystack Fellowship Haystack Mountain School of Crafts
The Haystack Fellowship program of the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts is intended to support individuals with a wide variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and ways of approaching craft. The fellowship program supports individuals who self-identify as benefiting from financial support by eliminating some of the financial barriers to participation in session workshops by covering tuition, room, and board costs, and providing a monetary award.
Recognizing barriers and implicit bias faced by contemporary craftspeople, individuals who are looking to take a risk in their practice, develop as an artist, are at a critical moment in their career, or identify as BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ are encouraged to apply.
Fellowship recipients are responsible for travel costs, shop fees, and studio materials. Award recipients must be 18 years of age or older. Haystack assembles independent committees to select Haystack Fellowship recipients through a competitive review process.
