Call for Applications
The CCI welcomes submissions for the 2025 Artist, Research, and CCI + WOPHA Fellowships. All programs are self-directed and will take place between September and December 2025.
CCI Research Fellowship
The CCI Research Fellowship is intended for Caribbean researchers, scholars, or curators—at any stage in their careers—who are based in the Caribbean or its diaspora and whose research advances the study of contemporary art of the region. The CCI encourages proposals that expand the scholarship on artworks from PAMM’s Caribbean art collection, but also welcomes research projects that shed light on different aspects of Caribbean art and cultural production from an interdisciplinary perspective.This fellowship will follow a hybrid (remote and in-person) format and must be completed within four months. As part of the program, the CCI will cover travel expenses and accommodation in Miami for a two-week residency period devoted to collection viewing, networking, and active engagement with the local art community. The CCI will also provide a research stipend and cover research-related expenses up to $2,000. The fellow is expected to produce an essay that will be published on the CCI website.
CCI Artist Fellowship
The CCI Artist Fellowship is intended for emerging to mid-career Caribbean artists and cultural practitioners based in the Caribbean or its diaspora and working across a range of disciplines and media. This opportunity aims to support the development of artistic practice via studio work, mentorship, institutional collaborations, and/or engagement in public programs. The CCI will provide institutional support as well as access to PAMM’s curatorial resources and networks. The Artist Fellow will be hosted in Miami for up to two months and provided with accommodation, a stipend, and a studio space in collaboration with the Bakehouse Art Complex. Travel expenses to and from Miami will be covered. A production budget of up to $4,000 will be allocated depending upon the needs of the project.
CCI + Women Photographers International Archive Fellowship
The CCI + Women Photographers International Archive (WOPHA) Fellowship is open to emerging to mid-career women and non-binary photographers from the Caribbean or of Caribbean heritage. During the fellowship period, the selected fellow will focus on the production of new body of work or expanding an ongoing project. The fellow will be able to develop their photographic practice* through mentorship and engagement with the local art community. Together, CCI and WOPHA will provide institutional support as well as access to their curatorial resources and networks.
The 2025 CCI + WOPHA Fellowship will run from September through November and will follow a hybrid format, combining in-person and remote participation. The fellowship will include a residency period in Miami at El Espacio 23 during the month of September.
