These programs support immersive cultural exchange and research across 16 disciplines including architecture, arts administration, dance, film, music, theater, and visual art. Funding is designed to support the exchange experience, not for production or promotion of specific works. Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of eligible countries in Asia or the U.S. and have at least five years of professional experience (except for Graduate Fellows).
