Creative Scholars Fellowship
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Who can apply?
Artists, scholars, writers, researchers, and creative practitioners of all disciplines and backgrounds. We especially welcome BIPOC applicants and those working at the intersection of creativity, culture, justice, and land.
Do I need to be a professional artist or scholar?
No. We value life experience, community knowledge, and self-directed inquiry just as much as formal training.
Is there a cost to attend?
Housing and access to farm-grown food are provided at no cost. Travel is not included. Stipends may be available depending on funding and partnerships.
How long is the fellowship?
We work with fellows to design a schedule that meets your needs and aligns with the rhythms of your practice, your goals, and our host - Serikaku farm.
Fellows are asked to be in relationship—with themselves, the land, and the surrounding community. There is no required final product. Optional public events, skillshares, or community dinners are welcome.
What is expected of fellows?
We define scholars broadly. If you are deeply curious, if you’re exploring questions of identity, culture, or justice—through research, storytelling, farming, or making—you’re a scholar in our eyes.
What do you mean by 'scholars'?
Serikaku Farm is a 14-acre farm in Waiāhole, Oʻahu. While not the owner of the fellowship, it is our host site. FEAST is the steward and organizer of this program.
