The Rockefeller Foundation launched the Bellagio Creative Arts Fellowship in 2008, offering an exciting opportunity for visual artists. This high-profile program, selected by a distinguished international panel, hosts visual artists at the Bellagio Center for extended residencies to develop projects inspired by or related to social or global issues.

The Bellagio Creative Arts Fellows program is a selective award that helps advance the work of some of the most innovative, global, contemporary visual artists and raises their visibility in new arts, policy, and academic circles. The Fellows receive a cash award, undertake a two-month residency at the Center, and are provided with a travel award. They also contribute to and benefit from interactions among a stimulating community of scholars, writers, policymakers, and other artists who share dinners and occasional presentations at the Center. The combination of an extended stay, a generous stipend, private work space, and a unique group of fellow residents makes a Creative Arts Fellowship at the Bellagio Center a remarkable, unparalleled opportunity in the global arts community. www.rockefellerfoundation.org/bellagio-center
