Windgate Fellows
Providing tuition-free workshop experiences to college students, the Windgate Fellowship is a collaborative partnership with over 80 colleges and universities in the USA.
The Windgate Fellows Program was established in 2017 through a generous grant from the Windgate Foundation. The mission of the program is to provide fully funded Arrowmont workshop experiences for university art students through collaborative relationships with targeted universities and colleges. These partnerships further strengthen the bond between Arrowmont and higher-education art departments across the USA.
Since its inception, over 400 students have attended Arrowmont workshops on fully funded one-week fellowships. Past fellows have gone on to form lasting bonds with Arrowmont, many coming back for internships, as participants in our Pentaculum retreat, and through other financial aid opportunities like workstudy.
