Baseera Khan
This Fellowship is a partnership with Apexart in New York City and is made possible by the Jerusalem foundation. Through the partnership a NY based artist travels to our residency, and one of our resident artists travels to the fellowship in NY. In this unique fellowship developed by Apexart, the artists are not allowed to engage in art or networking, and should only experience the city and its people.
