About the Alice C. Cole ’42 Fellowship
The Alice C. Cole ’42 Fellowship is awarded to an outstanding early-career painter or sculptor, providing funds to support one year of unimpeded time and space to experiment, develop a body of work, and focus on future artistic goals. Cole Fellowships are based on nominations from prominent members of the national arts community. The fellowship is made possible by the generous bequest of Alice C. Cole ’42. Aware of the burdens that face recent graduates of art school, Ms. Cole makes it possible for an artist to have “a limited time free of economic necessity”—an immensely valuable gift.
