The Kala Fellowship Award is an international competition open to artists from the U.S. and around the world. Hosting nine new artists at Kala Art Institute each year, helps to ensure that the artistic energy and vision of Kala’s entire community of artists-in-residence is continually re-energized and rejuvenated.

Artists producing innovative work in book arts, electronic/digital media (video, sound, animation, etc.), installation art, social practice, photography, and printmaking are encouraged to apply. Fellowship Awards will be given based on conceptual creativity, originality and artistic excellence as well as technical knowledge.

Annually, the Fellowship Competition is juried by a panel comprised of Kala’s Directors and an outside Bay Area arts professional. Kala is pleased to announce Dr. Stephanie Hanor, Director of Mills College Art Museum, as Kala’s invited Fellowship juror for the 2012 competition.
