The UrbanGlass Visiting Artist and Designer Fellowship provides four artists or designers the opportunity to develop a new work using the medium of glass. To explore the use and appreciation of glass as a creative medium, fellows will have access to the UrbanGlass studios, instruction, technical support, fabricators, an unrestricted honorarium as well as a budget to cover material costs. UrbanGlass’ 17,000-square-foot state-of-the-art glass studio offers a complete glassworking studio with a hot shop, cold shop, flameworking studio, neon shop, mold shop, and kiln shop.

As part of our continued mission to amplify underheard voices and perspectives in the field, we strongly encourage individuals that have not been historically represented in the arts to apply.

Fellows receive up to $20,000 in combined support for the proposal which is inclusive of:

Scheduled access to UrbanGlass studios
Project guidance and technical support
Hiring glass artists and fabricators
Enrollment in classes and/or private lessons
Materials and supplies for the proposed project
A $2500 honorarium dispersed in parts throughout the fellowship
