Monday March 25: deadline to apply for 2023-24 Cole Alumnae Grant
apply online here
The Alice C. Cole ‘42 Alumnae Grant is an award that provides project-based support to Wellesley College alumnae for the development, production, and exhibition of new work in painting or sculpture. The fund enables promising Wellesley College artist alumnae to set aside time for artistic development as well as to purchase materials, rent studio space, or access facilities for the creation of new projects. Award amounts vary considerably, but may be up to $5,000, depending on the proposed project and proposal and the number of awardees in any given cycle. Grant recipients are invited to present all or a portion of the supported work in an exhibition at the Jewett Art Gallery or other College-run gallery in the 2025-26 academic year.
Eligible applicants must be within 5 years of graduation from Wellesley College, or within 5 years of graduation from an art graduate program. Applicants must be actively practicing artists.
The deadline to apply to the cycle is March 25, 2024.
Applications are online through Slideroom. Contact art at wellesley with any questions.

Love this Opinions column by Wellesley News Senior Features Editor India Lacey! The piece talks about the way that a making-based course contributes to community, a new understanding of what books are and how they operate, and, at root, the transformative power of art. (And the transformative power of Book Studies Program Director Katherine Ruffin!)
