The Institute unlocks the potential of Still’s extraordinary gift, enabling artists and thought leaders the freedom to innovate and transform our present and future.
Applications are now open for the 2025 Institute Residential Fellowship Program at the Clyfford Still Museum. A committee of staff and external advisors will select six Fellows to engage the Museum and its collections from July 1–31, 2025, in Denver, CO. Applications are due by January 31, 2025.
The program is built on three pillars of study: art; education; and social enterprise. The two art-focused areas include:
- Studio Art – The Fellow will pursue studio practice that would benefit from research on and engagement with CSM’s collection and/or archives.
- Art History or Criticism – The Fellow will deeply study CSM’s collections and archives to illuminate the historical and philosophical stakes of Still’s art and writings, to bring his work in vibrant conversation with the work of his peers as well as those of subsequent generations, and/or find critical resonance between his work and that of contemporary artists.
