Diane Dammeyer Fellowship
Overview
The Diane Dammeyer Fellowship in Photographic Arts and Social Issues provides a unique opportunity for a socially engaged photographer to produce a compelling and dynamic body of work that highlights human rights and social issues.
Reward
The fellowship offers a $20,000 artist stipend, a $2,000 travel stipend, and $2,000 toward exhibition production.
