Community Artist Fellows Serve in Creative Ways

Recent Curtis graduates bring their artistry to underserved communities in Philadelphia through the Curtis Community Artist Fellowship. Fellows are placed in existing partnerships between Curtis and institutions such as schools, hospitals, prisons, and rehabilitation centers, and are able to continue their vital performance careers while serving the community. Throughout their year of service, each fellow will take leadership of a specific project and participate in community work involving students in Curtis’s Social Entrepreneur course.

Applications for 2021–22 Community Artist Fellowships are open to Curtis alumni through February 1.
