Pence Gallery Emerging Artist Award 2025

The 2050 Fellowship is named in celebration of the US Census Bureau’s projection that by the year 2050, there will be no single racial or ethnic majority in the United States. This projection provokes thoughts at New York Theatre Workshop about the transformations that will take place in the American landscape—technologically, environmentally, demographically, economically and artistically—now and in the future. They are a catalyst for broader questions about the direction of the field. New York Theatre Workshop is working to reflect the evolving and beautifully diversifying society now—to ensure there’s space for those who will lead the future to build the skills they need now.

  
The program runs from September 8, 2025 - August 21, 2026.

As a 2050 Administrative Fellow, you will:

* Commit to a yearlong part-time paid fellowship (27-30hrs/week, Monday-Friday) in one field of interest, including Artistic Workshop, Development, Education & Engagement, and Marketing.
* Work directly with the department head and their team in the respective area of focus.
* Attend a two-day intensive seminar where you’ll be introduced to the fellowship program, meet NYTW staff, and begin to develop your fellowship goals and plans.
* Take on significant responsibilities in your department, including day-to-day tasks and long-term collaborative and individual projects.
* Participate in monthly seminar meetings to discuss your work, share ideas, meet other professionals in the field and receive specialized career-development training.
* Participate in brown bag lunches with members of the NYTW staff and invited guests and attend industry networking and social events.

Art Fluent invites artists worldwide to submit artwork to our online exhibit, _BARING IT ALL._

  
**Theme:**

Artists have always been obsessed with the naked figure, and for good reason. It’s raw, real, and beautifully human. Whether it’s bold, vulnerable, awkward, or all of the above, nakedness forces us to stop and really see what’s underneath. Show us _BARING IT ALL_ from your perspective.

  
**Rules:**

Work that is copied or done under the guidance of an instructor is not eligible. Open to ALL fine art mediums (oil, acrylic, watermedia, pastel, drawing, printmaking, mixed media, photography, sculpture, fiber, wood, ceramics, film/video, digital art). AI will not be accepted. Diptychs and triptychs should be uploaded as a single image.
  
  

All accepted pieces will be displayed in our online gallery at www.art-fluent.com

Best of Show: $750

Two Director’s Choice awards: $250 each

Artist In Residence: Ceramics Program

**_Art on the Parkway_** is a juried open call organized by the Association for Public Art (aPA) in partnership with the Parkway Council and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation (PPR). It invites artists, designers, and other creatives to propose a temporary public art installation in Maja Park on Philadelphia’s Benjamin Franklin Parkway that will be commissioned for summer 2025\. Proposals are asked to explore the ways in which art can engage with audiences and respond to the site.

The Benjamin Franklin Parkway is one of Philadelphia’s grandest civic spaces with a rich array of art and architecture—including many sculptures commissioned and maintained by the Association for Public Art. This opportunity invites proposals that expand the idea of the Parkway as a great urban park while both celebrating the Parkway’s historic built environment and exploring its future as a more inclusive and vibrant public space for all Philadelphians. This commission will be a part of the annual Oval summer festivities on the Parkway and must be durable and suitable for display in a public park open to the elements for the four month exhibit period from July-October 2025.

The selected proposal will receive an all-inclusive commission award of **$15,000.**
