The Center Announces Upcoming Artist Residencies for Seven Pew Fellows in the Arts
The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage is pleased to announce that a group of recent Pew Fellows will take sojourns outside of the Philadelphia area next year for residencies that will push their artistic practice and expand their horizons. These Fellows will soon find themselves in new surroundings—creative communities that nurture artistic expression and exploration, located in California, Alberta, and under the big sky of Wyoming—thanks to a new residency partnership between Pew Fellowships in the Arts (PFA), the Alliance of Artists Communities, and four North American artist residency programs. An additional partnership with the MacDowell Colony will also give one Pew Fellow each year the opportunity to spend time as The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage Fellow in residence at one of the oldest and most prestigious residency programs in the country.
