TMT Institute Fellowship 2025/2026

About the Open Call

The TMT Institute is a cohort of artists who seek to radically disrupt and re-examine their existing practice without any goal or expected result. Each Fellow’s journey is individual; Fellows create their own course as they reinvent, question, and challenge their artistic practice. TMT supports fellows with space, material resources and a $2,000 stipend. The Institute gathers for three short intensive sessions and meets monthly for breakfast, with occasional excursions. After the second intensive, Fellows are encouraged to define and commit to an exploration that Target Margin will support with resources (space, collaborators, materials). Fellows share their progress and evolution, culminating in an “Open Studio” at the end of the season to share explorations with the community. The purpose is pure experimentation, rejecting product-oriented work, encouraging artists to try new ways of working, new disciplines, and new aesthetic goals. Misfires, dead ends, and bad ideas are valued as fruitful parts of the work.

What is Offered

A $2,000 stipend, space, material resources, and support with collaborators.
