Bogliasco Fellowships
Applicants for Fellowships are expected to demonstrate significant achievement in their disciplines, commensurate with their age and experience. In addition, they must submit descriptions of the projects that they intend to pursue in Bogliasco. An approved project is presumed to lead to the completion of an artistic, literary, or scholarly work, followed by publication, performance, exhibition, or other public presentation.
Bogliasco Fellowships are awarded, without regard to nationality, to qualified persons doing advanced creative work or scholarly research in the following disciplines: Archeology, Architecture, Classics, Dance, Film or Video, History, Landscape Architecture, Literature, Music, Philosophy, Theater, and Visual Arts.
Approximately 50 Bogliasco Fellowships are awarded each year. They are scheduled during the two semesters of the traditional academic year.
Application packet must include:
- The completed application form (with personal data, project abstract, preferences for residency dates, and other information).
- A short-form curriculum vitae, no more than three pages in length.
- A description of the project, one page in length, that the applicant intends to pursue during her/his Fellowship.
- Three reference letters that provide an assessment of the applicant’s professional achievements and an evaluation of the proposed project.
- A sample of the applicant’s work.
The cost of transportation to and from Genoa is the responsibility of Fellows or their accompanying spouses/companions. So also are all other personal expenses incurred during the fellowship period, including the purchase of materials and equipment.
Bogliasco Fellows may be accompanied by spouses (or spouse-equivalent companions) during their stay at the Liguria Study Center.
