The Art Canada Institute is now accepting applications for the New Voices Publishing Fellowship. Focused on new writing, mentorship, and diverse perspectives, the fellowship helps shape the next generation of authors bringing Canada’s cultural stories to readers everywhere.
Shaping the future of Canadian art The New Voices Publishing Fellowship supports the professional growth of early-career art historians by providing meaningful mentorship and guiding them through the development of an online art book.
The $60,000 fellowship is awarded to one postdoctoral scholar, selected through a competitive adjudication process. Tenable for one year, the fellowship is a unique opportunity—the only in Canada—providing focused time and financial incentive to write a book that will be read widely by researchers and art lovers across the country. The Fellow will join the Art Canada Institute’s incredible community of authors and receive editorial support from ACI editors and mentorship from leading researchers in Canadian art history.
The fellowship is open to emerging scholars with significant knowledge and experience in the study of Canadian art, broadly defined to encompass historical, contemporary, Indigenous, and/or diasporic art practices in Canada. To be eligible for this opportunity, applicants must have completed their PhDs (in art history or a closely related discipline) within the past 7 years. They should also have a body of research that can be written up into a 30,000 to 40,000-word manuscript over the course of 12 months.
