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.
- Early Childhood Education – The Fellow will develop projects that would benefit from and contribute to the practices in early childhood education pursued by the Learning and Engagement team at CSM. Proposed projects would advance the development of new possibilities at the intersections of art museums, education, and early learning.
