Fellowships
Fellowships at Dieu Donné
Dieu Donné currently offers two fellowship programs: the Marabeth Cohen-Tyler Print/Paper Fellowship and the West Bay View Foundation Fellowship. These fellowships support research, experimentation, and innovation in the field of papermaking. Open to experienced visual artists residing in the U.S., the fellowships provide opportunities to expand artistic practice by gaining practical experience working in a professional hand papermaking studio that focuses on collaboration.
For details on each fellowship, including application cycles and requirements, see below.
Marabeth Cohen-Tyler Print/Paper Fellowship
The Marabeth Cohen-Tyler Print/Paper Fellowship is awarded annually to a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, person of color) or underrepresented printmaking postgraduate or professional printer. Through research and experimentation, the fellow will develop custom papers for different printing methods and explore creative techniques in the papermaking process to enhance imagery.
This fellowship is available by nomination only. Candidates must be nominated by professional printers or graduate school faculty. Nominations are currently closed.
Kenneth Tyler and Dieu Donné are honored to have established this Fellowship in memory of Marabeth Cohen-Tyler.

West Bay View Foundation Fellowship
Established in 2018, the West Bay View Foundation Fellowship is an immersive, full-time, six-month studio position for a visual artist with papermaking experience and a strong desire to use handmade paper as an art form. Fellows work alongside Dieu Donné master papermakers, gaining practical experience working in a professional papermaking studio that focuses on artistic collaboration.
This fellowship provides mentorship from our studio directors, Amy Jacobs and Tatiana Ginsberg, a stipend to support transportation and living expenses in NYC for the six months of the fellowship, and a week in the professional studio with one of the studio directors to realize a larger or more complex project than could be achieved alone.
