Deadline: Unspecified.

The Venice Fellowships is a unique opportunity for students and researchers to spend a month in Venice during one of the world’s most significant art and architecture biennales.

Fellows choose themes, which are investigated through site-specific and archival research focused either on the biennale or within Venice itself. Selected submissions will be published online, on the Fellowships Blog. The Fellows and partners are encouraged to share and showcase the resulting research responses. There will also be an opportunity for fellows to present their work in a post-Biennale UK exhibition.

 

ELIGIBILITY

 

1. Fellowship is open to students, graduates and researchers.

2. Find out if your institution is interested in partnering. Ask your institution internally and direct them to the Become a Partner section.

3. If your university or organisation becomes a partner, you should contact your head of school, dean or international office to find out how to apply for the Fellowships
