Craft Archive Fellowship

The Craft Archive Fellowship advances archival research on underrepresented and nondominant craft histories in the United States, including feminist, queer, Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian American and Pacific Islander, intersectional, and other communities and approaches. The Fellowship supports a range of scholars—from independent artists to emerging and established researchers. Four Craft Archive Fellows receive honoraria of $5,000 each to conduct research in an archive of their choosing. They may engage in both conventional and innovative approaches to archival research. The fellowship takes an expansive understanding of what an archive is, including digital and in-person archives, objects as archives, oral histories, community-created archives, and site or place as an archive. Fellows are required to disseminate their research through a 1,200 word article to be edited and published by Hyperallergic in a Special Edition and participate in a virtual program presented by Center for Craft.
