The Center for Creative Photography (CCP) at the University of Arizona is excited to announce that its 2026–7 Fellowships cycle is now open. The Center welcomes applications for a wide range of interdisciplinary proposals for academic, artistic, or public interest projects. The application deadline is January 26, 2026. More information is available on the CCP website.
At the heart of the CCP fellowship program is a commitment to fostering new perspectives and critical approaches to the CCP’s extensive holdings. Key aspects of the program include:
Broad research initiatives: CCP fellowships support research utilizing CCP collection materials, and we welcome traditional and innovative research approaches, including creative, digital, and performance-based projects.
Eligibility: Regardless of experience, expertise, or education, CCP fellowships are open to academics, artists, and others interested in exploring the CCP’s unique photographic resources.
Financial support: The program provides awards ranging from 2,500 to 5,000 USD per fellowship, allowing individuals to pursue original independent research on-site at CCP.
Additionally, the CCP is honored to announce the recipients of its fellowships for the 2025–26 cycle.
