Create your work.
Strengthen your community.
The Buchanan Arts Emerging Artist Fellowship is a work-study program for recent graduates, early-career artists, and creative thinkers.
This year-long fellowship supports artists who want to grow creatively while helping to sustain the programs, classes, and spaces that make Buchanan Arts Center thrive. Fellows learn, make, and contribute — building skills, relationships, and meaningful work that connect creativity with community.
