In partnership with the Center for Art & Advocacy, this initiative aims to extend Frieze’s commitment to one of the US’s most pressing social issues as well as continuing to highlight and promote access and inclusion to the arts.
The Right of Return Fellowship is open to formerly incarcerated creatives from every discipline. Applicants should follow the questions and answer the prompts. Following the application process, six new 2024 Right of Return Fellows will be selected by Frieze and a panel of external reviewers and awarded $20,000 fellowships.
