James Weldon Johnson Foundation Announce the 2023 Fellows

James Weldon Johnson Foundation

The artists are each awarded a James Weldon Johnson Fellowship in the Arts. Located on the bucolic 220-acre Simon’s Rock Campus in Great Barrington, the Fellows are offered studio space in the Daniel Arts Center, one of the premier facilities in the Berkshire Mountains in Massachusetts.

The residency program seeks to support established, mid-career, and emerging visual artists, writers, scholars, and others whose work exemplifies the values that James Weldon Johnson dedicated his life to social equity, creative expression, erudition, social justice, and community. Ideally, the Fellows will find creative inspiration in each other, in the Simon’s Rock community, and in the surrounding natural world. Throughout the residency, artists will be brought together with dynamic scholars, artists, and students for lively discussions. Check out the website to hear more about the Artists!
