The new frontier of creative leadership requires new competencies, skills, & sensitivities that are adaptive, engaging and relevant. The program aims to introduce an alternative model for professional development that balances traditional structure with increased creativity and experimentation. THE FELLOWSHIP expands the skill-sets of emerging and mid-level arts and culture workers through a nine-month personal and professional development curriculum. Through participation in this interactive learning cohort, 2017–18 Fellows will build relationships across sector, discipline, and role within the Bay Area’s arts and culture field.

Meet the 2017–18 Fellows

The Round VIII Fellowship cohort is comprised of incredibly dedicated and passionate arts and cultural workers. Their work crosses multiple disciplines including visual arts, performing arts, music, technology, literary, and media, and represents different points along possible career paths in the Bay Area.
