Creative Access Fellowship

Thanks to generous support from the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation, SFAi is proud to offer the Creative Access Fellowship—supporting artists with spinal cord injuries through our International Thematic Residency Program. Up to four (4) artists will be awarded 4 week residencies, each receiving a $1,000 stipend, an additional room for a personal care assistant (PCA), and a $1,000 travel stipend for the PCA, if needed.

Please note: For the 2026 residency cycle, Creative Access Fellows will be selected through a closed nomination process. More details will be shared in late-2025.

Please contact SFAI at residency@sfai.org if you are considering applying to this Fellowship program, to discuss eligibility and information about our accessibility features at SFAI.
