The 2012 round for the State Library of Victoria Creative Fellowships is now open!

An information session will be held at 6pm on Monday 13 February at the Library’s Village Roadshow Theatrette.
What is a Creative Fellowship?
The State Library of Victoria’s Creative Fellowships support original use of the Library collections for new work in all areas of enquiry. They aim to:
- promote the State Library as a centre of creative activity
- give fellows the time and space to undertake their work
- create a community of fellows who can promote the Library and its collections through their work and their advocacy
What does a Creative Fellowship offer?
Fellows become part of the Library community, with access to a study for the period of the fellowship, which may be used outside normal opening hours of the Library. Librarians familiar with the collections that form the focus of projects are assigned to assist each fellow.
Fellows also have access to the Foundation members lounge for the duration of their fellowship.
Creative Fellowships include grants and are awarded for periods of three, six and 12 months. Grants are: $12,500 for three months, $25,000 for six months, and $50,000 for 12 months. These grants apply at these levels regardless of whether the projects are undertaken by individuals or as a collaborative partnership.
Honorary fellowships may be awarded, which accord all the benefits of the fellowship without the grant.
