Institutional Partnerships

Mildred’s Lane works with dozens of academic graduate programs on an annual basis.

Partner Institutions send fellows to our intensive residency sessions and/or for independent study. We think of this program as an award for exceptional student(s) and faculty with an interest in collaborative and interdisciplinary praxis.

Select a fellow by an internal application or use our application process. These are options for involvement:

  • A Sending Institution structures scholarship funds in various ways to support fellowships for one or more persons in the sessions. 

  • A Sending Institution may contract Mildred's Lane as an adjunct arrangement, mentor, or instructor(s) including the use of the entire site and facilities, a program of instruction, lectures, workshops, events, or other devised by the participants.

  • A Sending Institution may come as destination guests for short stays participating in the current program or collaborating with Mildred's Lane.

Session Costs at Full Price

Residency/Fellowship Programs incur a fixed weekly cost, covering expenses of lodging, food, session materials, compensating session collaborators for their intensive preparation of these unique curricula.

Fees for 2026 are on a sliding scale. We help those in need by finding institutional and individuals upport for young artists. Talk to your Departmental Leaders, talk to your Deans. We offer up to 25% and also arrange work study exchange for special projects.
