The QM-Jerome Foundation Fellowship for Emerging Artists will grant two visual artists 20,000 USD each, individual studio space, professional development consultations, and close mentorship from QM staff members working toward the artists’ projects. Fellows will have individual studio space from January 2024 through January 2025, as well as a solo-exhibition in 2025.

On the occasion of the upcoming 60th anniversary of the 1964–1965 New York World’s Fair, this year’s Open Call invites applications that respond to the complex history of the Queens Museum’s site and Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Applicants are encouraged to join the Museum in critically engaging with the present-day implications of the Fair, which idealized American democracy by promoting industrial, international, and domestic cooperation through technology and culture. To learn more about the 1964–1965 New York World's Fair and possible themes for artists to respond to, please click here.

The QM-Jerome Foundation Fellowship is open to emerging visual artists living in the five boroughs of New York City. QM defines an emerging artist as one who is at the beginning of their public career. Eligible artists have completed their studies, but have not had solo exhibitions at commercial galleries or public institutions. Artists will have not yet received major grants comparable in amount to this fellowship.
