- Applicants in creative arts cannot be students in doctoral or master’s programs at the time of application submission unless the dissertation has been accepted by advisors.
- Please note that artists and writers need not have a Ph.D. or an M.F.A. to apply; however, they must meet other specific eligibility requirements, listed below.
- Creative Writers: Fiction and Nonfiction: To be considered for a fellowship in fiction or nonfiction, applicants must have any of the following: one or more published books, a contract for the publication of a book-length manuscript, or at least three shorter works (longer than newspaper articles) published. Evidence of publication in print format within the last five years is highly desirable; Web site publications are not acceptable as the only form of previously published work. Applicants should note that reviewers take into account evidence of a distinctive, original voice, richness or dimensionality of text, and coherence in the project plan. Professionals interested in writing about their work experiences should apply in the category of nonfiction. Recommendations from applicant’s editors and/or agents are not acceptable.
- Poetry: To be considered for a fellowship in poetry, applicants must have had at least 20 poems published in the last five years or a published book of poetry and must be in the process of completing a manuscript. Reviewers examine the submissions for evidence of originality, vision, and maturity. Recommendations from applicant’s editors and/or agents are not acceptable.
- Journalists: Applicants in this genre are required to have worked professionally as a journalist for at least five years. Recommendations from applicant’s editors and/or agents are not acceptable.
- Playwrights/Screenwriters: Applicants in this genre must have a significant body of independent work in the form. This will include, most typically, a play or screenplay produced or under option.
- Film and Video Artists: Applicants in the areas of film and video must have a body of independent work of significant achievement. Such work will typically have been exhibited in galleries or museums, shown in film or video festivals, or broadcast on television or radio. Fellowships in film and video are awarded jointly by the Institute and the Harvard Film Study Center (filmstudycenter.org), which supports practitioners of innovative nonfiction media whose work displays exceptional promise and demonstrated accomplishment. Reviewers focus on formal innovation, personal vision, and the impact that the work has had within its field. If accepted, film and video artists have a number of options to be negotiated to present their work during the fellowship year, to be determined once accepted.
- Musicians: Composers: It is highly desirable, but not required, for applicants in music composition to have a Ph.D. or D.M.A.
- Theater Performers: Applicants must have a significant body of work characterized by originality, reach, and mastery of technique. Reviewers expect that the artist has worked in at least two professional theaters or venues.
- Visual Artists: To be considered for a fellowship in the visual arts, applicants must show strong evidence of achievement, with a record of at least five years of work as a professional artist, including participation in several curated group shows and at least two professional solo exhibitions. Reviewers take into account originality, consistency, and ability to transcend the artistic medium. If accepted, visual artists are required to contribute artwork to a group exhibition in the Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery on the Radcliffe campus. Artists may also have an opportunity to present their work in an additional exhibition during the fellowship year. In addition, artists will present their work in a lecture setting to colleagues and the public.
