Committee Selects Fellows for 2025 Clyfford Still Museum Institute Residential Fellowship Program

DENVER - April 2, 2025 - PRLog -- A committee selected six Fellows from different study areas to engage with the Museum and its collections from July 1 to 31, 2025, during the second annual Clyfford Still Museum Institute Residential Fellowship Program in Denver, CO. The program focuses on three pillars of study: art, education, and social enterprise.

"As stewards of a collection that belongs to our community, we asked ourselves how we might model the richly varied approaches we might take to understanding the impacts of Still's gift," said Joyce Tsai, Museum director. "The fellowship program allows for an interdisciplinary focus on one body of work from various perspectives. We received numerous applications from all over the country, and our team of staff and advisors selected a talented group of individuals to draw strength from our collections and resources at the Still this summer."

The Museum closed applications on January 31. The second group of fellows selected to participate include Geovanni "Geo" Barrios in Studio Art; Kealey Boyd and Michael Holloman in Art History/Criticism; Dr. Kyong-Ah Kwon in Early Childhood Education; and Marie Edland and Riley Jones, IV in Social Enterprise.

"Each fellow shares a desire to transform our present and future by engaging deeply with the Museum and its collection," said Tsai. "This group of fellows will build upon the foundation set by the first Institute program in 2024."

Each Fellow will receive an honorarium, round-trip economy class travel to and from Denver, housing in Denver during the program, and workspace appropriate to the proposed project. The Fellows will also participate in a public program on July 28. For more information, visit clyffordstillmuseum.org/institute.
