Apply now to be an AY26 artsCatalyst Fellow
Open to Faculty & Teaching Staff
Do you have a novel idea for deeply integrating art with scholarship in a course that you teach, or want to teach? Are you already experimenting with interdisciplinary arts integration?
Overview
The artsCatalyst Fellows program will bring together a cohort of course instructors each year to discuss arts integration pedagogy, to workshop course ideas and syllabus strategies, and to develop bigger ideas around roles for art in teaching and research across wide-ranging academic disciplines. Fellows selected for the AY26 program will participate in a series of meetings and events during autumn quarter 2025, and will each receive a grant of $1000 to support their work in arts integration.
Eligibility
Open to faculty (professoriate and academic teaching staff) applying individually or in pairs, including individual instructors in search of interdisciplinary course development partners. Applicants requesting assistance in finding interdisciplinary course development partners are encouraged to submit their proposals early. Priority will be given to proposals that integrate arts with non-art disciplines.
Future support
Fellows in the AY25-26 cohort are encouraged to propose the courses they develop to their home department(s) for AY26-27. SAI will gladly cross-list any department-approved courses (ARTSINST) and will have limited funds available to support course activities and materials. Please note, SAI is not able to provide funding to cover instructor salaries, and all courses will require approval of at least one home department.
Apply by June 30
To apply, please send us a proposal by email explaining your interest in the Arts Integration Fellows program. It would be most helpful if you could outline at least one concrete interdisciplinary arts integration idea you have, or approach you have tried. List any related courses taught and/or other relevant experience in the past five years. The suggested length range for submissions is from one paragraph to one full page of text.
This fellowship is administered by the Stanford Arts Institute (SAI) with support from the Office of the Vice President for the Arts.
