The State library of Victoria’s Creative Fellowship program provides artists and scholars with a unique and supportive environment in which to immerse themselves in its collections.

The Library invites recipients to be inspired by, repurpose, transform or imaginatively respond to published or original sources, such as manuscripts, maps, music, newspapers, oral histories and rare printed material, in any way they choose.

Funding & Duration

Fellows receive a grant of $12,500 for three months’ research, space in a shared office that is accessible outside normal Library hours, and special access to collections and staff expertise.

Honorary fellowships may also be awarded. These fellows receive the same benefits as funded fellows, without the monetary grant.
