The New York Public Library’s Picture Collection, part of the Wallach Division of Art, Prints, and Photographs, is pleased to offer the Picture Collection Artist Fellowship to support artists or scholars engaged in the research, development, and/or execution of a new creative or scholarly work based on the Collection’s holdings. Since 1915, the Picture Collection has been an essential resource for artists, designers, illustrators, filmmakers, and many others who have relied on its voluminous holdings for inspiration. The fellowship allows dedicated access to the Collection and guidance from its staff with the goal of highlighting the Collection’s distinctive attributes. The fellowship will also foster community connections with peers and experts allowing for collaborative exchange.
Fellowship stipends are awarded on a sliding scale from $2,000 to $5,000 and are supported by the generosity of the Anne Levy Charitable Trust.

Fellows are invited to conduct research in specific subject areas and address the Collection itself or its organization system of visual material, utilizing the Library’s reference staff as thought partners.
Stipends range from $2,000 to $5,000. The amount of the stipend is dependent on the justification and merit of the proposed project.
Fellowship periods are determined in consultation with NYPL Picture Collection staff and can start as early as July 1, 2025.
