Each program - talks, screenings, workshops, performances, outdoor projections, and more - stimulates the community with new ideas, fosters dialogue, provides a window into artists' creative processes, and connects audiences with the highest caliber contemporary art.

Fellowship Program
Bridging the gap between formal education and the professional workplace, the fellowship program works hands-on with young artists and arts professionals, combining education and practical experience to create a unique environment for professional growth.
Fellows work with Girls' Club directors, contributing directly to programming, education workshops, web projects and the daily administration of an active arts organization. In addition, each fellow is tasked with producing an independent project that facilitates the Girls' Club mission and aligns with their personal interests and passions. With guidance and support from Girls' Club staff, fellows have produced video series, published collaborative zines, delved into deep research and more.
