The deadline for submitting applications toward the Robert Giard Fellowship is one month away!

Are you an artist working in video or film whose work addresses issues of gender, sexuality, or LGBTQ experiences? If so, please check out details about CLAGS: Center for LGBTQ Studies’s Robert Giard Fellowship Award below.

This year’s award is presented to an emerging, early or mid-career artist from any country working in moving image (video or film). This award will support a directed project, one that is new or continuing, and that addresses issues of sexuality, gender, or LGBTQ identity.

An annual award named for Robert Giard, a portrait, landscape, and figure photographer whose work often focused on LGBTQ lives and issues, this award is presented to an emerging, early or mid-career artist, from any country, working in photography, photo-based media, video, or moving image, including short-form film or video.  The award now alternates annually between artists working exclusively with still images (photography) and those working with moving images (video or film). Please make sure to check which medium (still vs. moving image) is eligible for this year’s award cycle, described below*. In either case, this award will support a directed project, one that is new or continuing, that addresses issues of sexuality, gender, or LGBTQ identity.
