VISION Fellowship

The VISION Fellowship emerges from the need to support developing AAPI artists, in collegiate or university settings, with support to immerse themself within the field and work being showcased. This $750 financial reimbursement allows space for a Fellow to cultivate a voice for themself by seeing performances and engaging with the arts community in addition to their collegiate development. With mentorship from Obremski/Works Associate Jie-Hung Connie Shiau and Obremski/Works Founder and Director Jesse Obremski, the Fellows receive year-round support for what they imagine and envision their future to be.
