Atelier Fellowship Program

The Atelier’s Fellowship Program is a rigorous apprenticeship program designed for young artists seeking professional level skills.  Fellowship students will be immersed full-time in the practice and study of drawing and painting.  


Fellowship students will spend a year developing their skills through various projects set by instructors including still life pieces, self-portraits, figure painting, and creating master copies. Students in this program will also be expected to volunteer during events at The Atelier and help instructors by TA’ing (teacher’s assistant) and monitoring studios when needed.

Expectations of Students

  • Have a minimum 1-year commitment to The Atelier. After completing 1 year, students may be eligible for a 2nd year under the Fellowship Program at the discretion of staff/instructors.
  • Attend 3 classes per week.
  • Work on studies, paintings, and drawings throughout the year resulting in minimum of 5 fully executed works of art. Finished works of art encompass: Cast drawing/grisaille, self-portrait painting, still-life painting, figure painting, and a master copy (at discretion of instructor).
  • Volunteer 4 to 8 hours per week. This includes, but not limited to, serving as a teaching assistant and/or classroom monitor.
  • Attend all art history lectures (online), exhibition openings, and open houses held/hosted by The Atelier. We highly encourage Fellowship students to attend open figure nights as well.

Fellowship Benefits

  • Receive free tuition for all classes. Fees for paid events, workshops, and art materials are not included.
  • Have access to The Atelier’s collection of books in the Fine Arts Reference Library.
  • Enjoy open studio time during which they are expected to work on their Fellowship Program artwork.
  • Access to Fellowship studio space.
