Taft-Nicholson Center Artist-in-Residence and Faculty Fellow 2021 Application Deadlines
Artist-in-Residence
Application Deadline: January 31, 2021
The Taft-Nicholson Center Artist-in-Residence Program offers dedicated artists a supportive and transformational environment to further their creative development. In a remote setting dedicated to the historical integrity of the land and the preservation of natural habitat and wildlife, artists can experience unencumbered time to allow for thoughtful reflection and development of their work.
The 2021 Artist-in-Residence Season begins on June 15th and ends on October 1st. It is expected that individual residencies will be awarded for between 2-6 weeks. Artists will specify how much time they need for their project.
Artists from diverse multidisciplinary fields are encouraged to apply. Residencies are open to visual artists, composers, writers, dancers, photographers, film makers, playwrights, and textile artists, among others.
Summer Faculty Fellowship
Application Deadline: March 31, 2021
The Taft Nicholson Summer Fellow Residencies are available to tenure-line faculty in all disciplines for 1-3 weeks of dedicated writing time for scholarly pursuits of research or creative projects. Fellowships are available July 1 thru July 31. Faculty who have held a regular U of U faculty appointment for 1 year or more are eligible to apply. These fellowships are designed to provide intensive, dedicated, writing time for faculty to work on their research/creative agendas.
The Taft-Nicholson Environmental Humanities Education Center (TNEHEC) and the Vice President for Research will award the faculty member $1,000-$2,000 (depending on length of stay) which is intended to help defer the cost of travel to and from the TNEHEC and to cover per diem to purchase food and supplies. Fellows will be housed in “Thoreauian-like” cabins in University Village.
