Grant: Distinguished Artist/Writer/Musician-in-Residence 2027-28, University of Virginia

Aug. 26, 2026

The Jewish Studies Program at the University of Virginia invites applications for its Distinguished Artist/Writer/Musician-in-Residence fellowship for the 2027-2028 academic year. The programme brings one person per year to Charlottesville to introduce artistic perspectives from the visual arts, music, literature, and performance to Jewish Studies. Recipients typically spend three to six weeks at the university, pursuing their own creative projects while contributing to the intellectual life of the programme through a public lecture, reading, exhibit, or performance, a one-credit workshop open to all students, a faculty reading group, a one-day conference, or guest lectures in Jewish Studies courses. The residency is open to junior and senior applicants from the United States and abroad, and interdisciplinary collaborations with other units at the university are especially welcome.

Deadline for applications: October 1, 2026 | DETAILS
