Irene Yamamoto Arts Writers Fellowship Grant 2024 from Democracy Center

The Daniel K. Inouye National Center for the Preservation of Democracy (Democracy Center) is accepting applications from emerging writers for the Irene Yamamoto Arts Writers Fellowship (Yamamoto Fellowship) for its second year. This year, the focus is on theater, dance, and performance art, which have been particularly impacted by the challenges stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Applicants are required to submit a work of criticism or review about theatre, dance, or performance art, and the selection committee will choose the best two authors of works, who will be awarded by 2024 Yamamoto Fellowship grant of $5,000.

The Democracy Center was founded in 2000 in the US. Through artistic endeavors and public initiatives, the Democracy Center brings together individuals of various ages and backgrounds to explore topics related to race, identity, and social justice.
The Yamamoto Fellowship aims to empower emerging arts writers from diverse backgrounds to explore cultural and political perspectives in their writings.
