About this opportunity

The Artlab Editorial Fellowship, an initiative of Hyundai Artlab, supports art writers whose work demonstrates critical empathy, balancing care and critique, interrogative and intuitive approaches, and perceptive and imaginative engagement. As part of our ambition to spark meaningful dialogue, cultivate empathy, and facilitate collaborations, we are looking to support two art writers whose texts on contemporary art exercise critical empathy. These writers should navigate the balance between care and critique, the interrogative and intuitive, the perceptive and imaginative, and engage through dialogue to deepen understanding.

This Fellowship is open to art writers from anywhere in the world and at any career stage. The two selected Fellows will each receive $10,000 to produce three pieces of writing every other month for Artlab Editorial in 2026 and will be paired with one of this year’s Fellowship Advisors, Mira Dayal and Gary Zhexi Zhang, for regular one-on-one guidance and mentorship throughout the program.

Rewards

• $10,000 each for two winners
• Production of three 800-word editorial articles for Artlab Editorial (May–December 2026)
• One-on-one mentorship with 2026 Fellowship Advisors, Mira Dayal and Gary Zhexi Zhang
• Global visibility through publication on Artlab Editorial
