EHP Resident Fellow

A key member of our team in Rome, the EHP Resident Fellow lives for a one-year appointment at Palazzetto Cenci, maintaining their own studio practice while providing key programmatic support to the EHP Program Director, Chief Critic, and Program Coordinator.

Typically a former EHP student who has since graduated from RISD, the resident fellow is already intimately familiar with Rome, the program and its demands, and well equipped to provide both artistic and personal support and guidance for students during their time in Rome. Resident Fellows participate in critiques, field trips, and all other EHP learning activities and are provided with housing and an individual studio space at the Palazzetto Cenci in which to conduct their independent practice.
The EHP Faculty Committee and RISD Global releases a call for this competitive fellowship once every year on ArtWorks. The ideal candidate has a deep knowledge of Italy, preferably Rome, and the Italian art and design worlds, with working knowledge of the Italian language. Preference is given to RISD EHP alumni.
