Fellowship Experience
In addition to the $20,000 unrestricted award, selected Fellows will receive direct support and curated guidance from industry-celebrated mentors and monthly workshop programming designed to empower these artists as creatives and business people.
Project Output
- Over the 6 months of the Fellowship, Fellows will create an image-based (e.g. photographs, scans, collages) project that explores and uplifts a community or communities of color with care and nuance.
- The program is designed to give Fellows time to fully develop, explore and realize their vision, in collaboration with their subject(s).

Note: Fellows are not required or obligated to use Google hardware/software to complete their projects.
