Priority Deadline: March 4th, 2026 | Final Deadline: March 9th, 2026

Swiss Institute’s (SI) Young Adult Arts Immersion Cohort is a mobile, dynamic, experiential engagement with contemporary art designed for young adults (20-26) who have followed a non-traditional education path and/or are not currently enrolled in a formal academic program. We will meet for 10 sessions between March 27 and May 4. This program is ideal for participants who are interested in cultivating community and community-based knowledge through engagement with contemporary art. No prior or specific arts skills or experiences are required. Upon completion, participants will receive a $400 stipend.

The core of the course will be visits to arts and culture spaces like galleries, performance and music venues and museums, and it will be grounded in dialogue between cohort-members and those we meet along the way. When we are not traveling, we will use Swiss Institute (located in the East Village) as our home base to reflect and support each other’s creative and personal development.
