Description
The George A. and Eliza Gardner Howard Foundation awards a limited number of fellowships each year to support independent projects in selected fields, with a focus on early mid-career artists and scholars. Administered at Brown University, the foundation aims to provide recipients with the time and support necessary to complete significant new work, rather than funding publication costs, equipment, exhibits, or institutional programs. Fellowship fields rotate annually, and recipients are expected to dedicate a substantial portion of the fellowship year to advancing their projects. The award is intended to augment paid sabbaticals but may be used independently.
