The CCI will provide institutional support as well as access to PAMM’s curatorial resources and networks. The Artist Fellow will be provided with a studio in Miami for up to two months, as well as a stipend, production funds, and accommodation, if needed.

2023 CCI Research Fellowship

The Fellow will produce a text that will be published on the CCI website.
