support a fellowship

At the Dora Maar Cultural Center, a fellowship is an investment in the creative and intellectual potential of an artist or scholar. It is the gift of time to think deeply, freedom from everyday demands, a community of exchange, and an extraordinary place in which new work can take shape. Each fully funded fellowship provides a stipend, travel assistance, accommodations, program and curatorial support, and access to the historic setting of Ménerbes.
Your gift supports more than a residency. It gives exceptional artists the freedom to pursue ideas, questions, and creative work that may influence how we see and understand the world for years to come.

Permanently Endowed Fellowship — $400,000 / €400 000 
A gift at this level will permanently endow and name a Dora Maar Fellowship, supporting one fellow each year in perpetuity. The fellowship may be named for the donor, a family member, or another individual or organization the donor wishes to honor. Each year, the donor will be notified of the fellow selected to hold the named fellowship and will receive information about the fellow and their work. The fellow will also be informed of the donor’s support, and the fellowship name will be recognized in DMCC materials and alumni directories.

Named Fellowship — $35,000 / €35 000 
A gift at this level will name a Dora Maar Fellowship for one fellow for one year. The fellowship may be supported by an individual donor or a consortium of donors and may be named for the donor(s) or in honor of another person or organization. Donors will be notified of the fellow selected to hold the named fellowship and will have an opportunity to learn more about their work. The fellowship name will be recognized in DMCC materials and alumni directories. 
Named fellowships may also be pledged for multiple years, allowing donors to sustain this support over time.
