JustArts Fellowship for Student Leaders in the Arts

The program was created in collaboration with students serving on the Arizona Arts Diversity and Inclusion Committee, including Seoyeon Kim, Cat Cogliandro, Arianna Aquino, and Lynn Robinson. I am excited that it is now ready to launch with generous funding made possible through philanthropic support.

This unique opportunity invites students to design and complete a change-oriented project that increases student access to meaningful arts experiences. Fellows identify challenges, generate creative solutions, and collaborate with student peers and Arizona Arts mentors to bring a more just vision of the arts to life.

To be eligible for the Fellowship, students must be degree-seeking undergraduate or graduate students in UArizona's College of Fine Arts and enrolled full-time for the 2022-2023 academic year. Fellows will meet once every other week during the fall and spring semesters. They will also receive a $6,000 award with an additional $1,500 in supply/execution budget to bring projects to fruition. You may find more details in the attached flyer.

In my capacity as AVP for Equity in the Arts, I've come to know students across CFA who demonstrate a commitment to equity and inclusion through advocacy, community-building, and other actions big and small. I am sure there are many students in your networks who are ideal candidates for this opportunity. Please share the announcement and flyer widely and encourage individual students to apply. The deadline for applications is May 30, 2022.
