Fellowship Budget: $75,000
Eligibility: Any artist or artist team working with the medium of photography and residing in San Diego County
The City of San Diego is seeking applications from interested qualified artists for Exposure, San Diego’s first-ever municipal photo fellowship program designed to provide a platform for artists to explore civic and social issues facing San Diego through the medium of photography.
For the pilot Exposure fellowship 2023-2024, an artist or artist team is sought to serve as the photo fellow for the City’s Welcoming San Diego initiative. The artist selected for the fellowship will be expected to develop a framework for exploration and experimentation in new approaches to visual storytelling, which will result in the creation of a temporary project and representative body of photographic artwork for the City’s Civic Art Collection. The project and body of artwork is expected to support the implementation of the City’s Welcoming San Diego initiative, which is designed to advance the civic, social, and economic integration of immigrants in the most vibrant cross-border mega region in North America. The fellowship will begin in late spring of 2023 and culminate in the fall of 2024.
