The Arthur and Lila Weinberg Artist-in-Residence Fellowship for Independent Researchers is designated for writers, journalists, filmmakers, visual and performing artists, and other humanists who wish to use the Newberry’s collection to further their creative work.

Preference is given to individuals working on projects that focus on social justice or reform.

Recipients may be asked to present their work to the scholarly community at the Newberry during their residency.

Awardees may choose to distribute their time over six months on a flexible basis to be determined in conversation with Newberry staff.
