CAMARGO FELLOWSHIP 2025/2026

The Camargo Fellowship is the flagship program of the Camargo Foundation. Since 1971, the Camargo Foundation has awarded residencies to more than 1,500 individuals as part of its mission to support groundbreaking research, experimentation, and interdisciplinary approaches in the Arts and Humanities. 

Each year, an esteemed panel of scholars and arts professionals selects individuals or teams from hundreds of submissions from around the world. The laureates are awarded residencies in a stunning, contemplative environment where they have the space, time, and freedom to think, create, and connect. For this upcoming 2025-2026 edition, 14 applicants will be selected for a residency as part of the program. Fellowships will span over 10 weeks. With each cohort of Fellows, the Foundation strives to foster connections between research and creation. 

Artists should keep in mind that the Camargo Fellowship is a research-based residency. Applicants should have maintained a (professional) practice for at least the past 5 years. They should be the primary creators of new work or a new project. They should be able to demonstrate a track record of publications, public performances and exhibitions, credits, awards, and/or grants.

We are interested in artists who have a fully developed, mature artistic voice. Applicants may include artists who are engaged in critical thought and research-oriented projects. When applying, artists will have to identify among the following subcategories: Visual Artists / Choreographers, Theater Directors, and Performance Artists / Writers and Playwrights / Film, Video, and Digital Artists / Composers and Sound Artists / Multidisciplinary Artists.
