Background
Bogliasco Fellowships are awarded, without regard to nationality, to qualified persons doing advanced creative work or scholarly research in the following disciplines:
- Archaeology
- Architecture
- Classics
- Dance
- Film/Video
- History
- Landscape Architecture
- Literature
- Music
- Philosophy
- Theater
- Visual Arts
In the Arts, the Study Center welcomes persons doing both creative and scholarly work (such as Art History, Musicology, Film Criticism, and so on). With respect to Music and Theater, the Center does not have rehearsal studio space for persons wishing to work extensively in performance. However, as of 2013, the Bogliasco Foundation is happy to announce the addition of a brand-new, state-of-the-art 365 sq ft dance studio. Customizations include a sprung floor with marley surface, mirrors, portable barres, and audio-video projection and recording capabilities.
Approximately 50 Bogliasco Fellowships are awarded each year. They are scheduled during the two semesters of the traditional academic year. The Bogliasco Foundation does not offer summer residencies. During 2013-2014 the dates are as follows: September 9 to December 13 (fall-winter), and February 10 to May 16 (winter-spring). The standard residency at the Liguria Study Center has a duration of 30 to 34 days, depending on various practical considerations: the travel arrangements of Fellows, their disciplines and studio requirements, the Foundation's scheduling limitations, and so on.
Eligibility
To be eligible for the award of a Fellowship, applicants should demonstrate significant achievement in their disciplines, commensurate with their age and experience. Please note that Bogliasco Fellowships are not awarded to students currently in a degree-granting program. The Foundation gives preference to persons whose applications suggest that they would be comfortable working in an intimate, international, multi-lingual community of scholars and artists.
Deadline: 15 April 2013
