Artist Fellowship Program

The Wave Pool Incubator is a six-month fellowship supporting Cincinnati-area artists at the early stages of establishing ambitious, long-term, community-centered initiatives. Fellows receive a $4,000 stipend, $1,500 project budget, studio/office space, and mentorship to plan the work, test approaches, build relationships, fundraise, and develop their initiatives toward sustainability.

Fellows use the six months to develop their projects toward sustainability. This means building relationships with potential partners, experimenting, refining the project concept, and identifying pathways to future support: grants, institutional collaborations, or other sustainable structures.
