QM-Jerome Foundation Fellowship for Emerging Artists Open Call: 2027–28
The Queens Museum (QM) is pleased to launch its eighth iteration of the QM-Jerome Foundation Fellowship for Emerging Artists in New York City.
Two visual artists will receive $20,000 each and professional development consultations from QM staff members working toward an artist’s project. Each fellow will also receive mentorship from a New York-based established artist. The fellowships will culminate in solo project exhibitions at the Queens Museum in 2028. The duration of each fellowship is one year, culminating with the opening of the fellow’s exhibition.
The QM-Jerome Foundation Fellowship is open to emerging visual artists living in the five boroughs of New York City. As of this year, this program defines an emerging artist as one who is at the beginning of their public career: with at least 2 years, but no more than 10 years of experience generating new artistic works outside of a degree-granting program. Eligible artists have not had solo exhibitions at established commercial galleries or museums, or received major grants. These artists may have exhibited their work in other countries on a limited basis, but have not had major exhibition opportunities in the US or in New York. Please see the FAQ for more details regarding eligibility.
deadline: September 28, 2026, 11:59 pm EST
