Inclusion Fellowship for AALANA- or BIPOC-Identifying Artists/Sculptors

In an effort to expand and enrich our community, CSI Membership is offering three (3) AALANA or BIPOC fellowships in total. The fellowships will be offered to three (3) new AALANA-or BIPOC-identifying artists of exceptional promise and interest. Fellowships cover the cost of one year's membership dues, a range of perks, and opportunities to exhibit your work.

You will receive the CSI Newsletter with monthly news and Calls for Art, Participation in CSI exhibitions and events, and a Profile page in the Member Directory. We offer the opportunity to be a paid teaching artist through CSI and you can even volunteer to help us run more inclusively by being involved in our many committees and board.
