LUMINARTS CULTURAL FOUNDATION
Fellowship Award
We are pleased to announce the Luminarts Cultural Foundation Architecture Fellowship. We will be awarding one (1) $5,000 Luminarts Fellowship for excellence in architectural design work. This opportunity is offered in partnership with the Chicago-Midwest Chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (Chicago ICAA).
Consequently, proposals that demonstrate the candidate’s greatest potential for contribution to the continuum of Classical design will be most strongly considered. Awardees will be invited to attend all Chicago ICAA programming and events – educational and social – over the course of one year, free of charge. Once an individual has been designated as a Luminarts Fellow, they are eligible to apply for additional opportunities for a period of 10 years. These opportunities include project grants, workshops, mentorships and facilitated conversations that provide valuable insights into building a successful career in the arts.
Submissions must be received by Wednesday, April 15th at 11:59pm. Awardee will receive notice of their fellowship on or before May 18th and will be honored with a public presentation at the ICAA’s Acanthus Awards ceremony on October 22nd at Wintrust Grand Banking Hall.
