Providing a full package of year-long support that includes funding, mentorships, industry connections, and promotion for innovative artists of Armenian origin (or international artists who have a demonstrated interest in Armenian culture), the program seeks to cultivate creators on the front lines of Armenia’s cultural future. Applications from and about Artsakh are highly encouraged.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I’m not Armenian. Can I apply?
A: Yes. So long as your works relate in some way to themes or subjects relevant to Armenian culture.
Q: Do I have to be in Armenia?
A: No. You can apply from anywhere in the world. Mandatory meetings will take place online, although optional events will be ongoing in Yerevan.
Q: What qualifies as an Artsakh-related project? Who is considered an applicant from Artsakh?
A: If you are an applicant who is born and/or based in Artsakh you are considered to be an Artsakh applicant. If your project explores themes about Artsakh and/or will be implemented in Artsakh then your project is considered Artsakbh-related.
Q: Is there an age restriction on applicants?
A: No.
Q: Do I have to spend the fellowship stipend on my project?
A: You are free to spend the stipend as you need. But we do require a “first look” at any projects we help you with during this fellowship. That means Creative Armenia and AGBU should be given the opportunity to produce or invest in the project before you share it with others.
Q: What are my responsibilities as a fellow?
A: In addition to attending scheduled meetings, we expect our fellows to participate actively in our creative community. That may involve pitching content, leading a workshop, or mentoring emerging artists. We expect our fellows to become leaders of our creative community and cultural ambassadors for the Armenian people.
Q: And what happens after my Fellowship term?
A: We’ll consider you alumni of Creative Armenia and AGBU - and cultural ambassadors for the Armenian people. You’ll have access to our networks and priority consideration for our other programs. We’ll work together to develop and promote Armenian culture.
