Princeton University invites applications for Princeton Arts Fellowship.
Princeton Arts Fellows, funded in part by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, will be awarded to artists whose achievements have been recognized as demonstrating extraordinary promise in any area of artistic practice and teaching.

The Lewis Center is designed to put the creative and performing arts at the heart of the Princeton experience. This mission is based on the conviction that exposure to the arts helps each to make sense of lives and the lives of neighbours. They pursue this mission by bringing together a vibrantly diverse community of people with different backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, skills and talents.
They will be accepting applications in Creative Writing, Dance, Music, Theater, and Visual Arts for Princeton Arts Fellowship.
The normal work assignment will be to teach one course each semester subject to approval by the Dean of the Faculty, but fellows may be asked to take on an artistic assignment in lieu of a class, such as directing a play or creating a dance with students. Applicants are not required to have prior teaching experience and although the teaching load is light, our expectation is that Fellows will be full and active members of our community, committed to frequent and engaged interactions with students during the academic year.
Princeton Arts Fellows may not hold concurrent teaching positions at other institutions for the duration of the fellowship. Interviews of finalists are to take place on campus during Dec. 15-16, 2020. Finalists are expected to be available to attend on-campus interviews if on-campus interviews are possible.
Benefits
- An $84,000 a year stipend is provided. Fellowships are not intended to fund work leading to an advanced degree.
- Fellows will be in residence for academic years 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 at Princeton, interacting with our students, faculty and staff as part of the Lewis Center for the Arts and the Department of Music.
Eligibilities
- Applicants should be early-career composers, conductors, musicians, choreographers, visual artists, filmmakers, poets, novelists, playwrights, designers, directors, and performance artists–this list is not meant to be exhaustive–who would find it beneficial to spend two years teaching and working in an artistically vibrant university community.
- One need not be a U.S. citizen to apply. Holders of PhD degrees from Princeton are not eligible to apply.
Application Process
- All applicants must submit a resume or curriculum vitae, a personal statement of 500 words about how you would hope to use the two years of the fellowship at this moment in your career, and contact information for three references.
- In addition, work samples are requested to be submitted online (i.e., writing sample, images of your work, video links to performances, etc.)
- Applicants can only apply for the Princeton Arts Fellowship twice in a lifetime.
