Camargo Fellowship for Artists, Scholars and Thinkers 2026-27

Applications are now open for the Camargo Fellowship to support groundbreaking research, experimentation, and interdisciplinary approaches in the Arts and Humanities.

.

The Camargo Fellowship not only provides time and space for the residents, but also initiates exchanges within the group and develops a collective spirit, which is one of the program’s distinctive features. The interactions developed among the program’s fellows are a vital element of this program.

.

Each year, the program gathers an esteemed panel of scholars and arts professionals annually to select fellowships from a large pool of applicants from around the world. The selected applicants are awarded residencies in a stunning, contemplative environment where they have the space, time, and freedom to think, create, and connect. With each cohort of Fellows, the Foundation strives to foster connections between research and creation.
