Introducing the PA Cultural Exchange Fellowship

PA Humanities has officially launched the new PA Cultural Exchange (PaX) Fellowship — an innovative statewide fellowship program designed to bring together humanities, creative, and cultural practitioners from across Pennsylvania for a dynamic, collaborative learning experience rooted in the humanities.

The fellowship is designed for artists, educators, organizers, scholars, librarians, storytellers, archivists, cultural workers, community leaders, and independent practitioners whose work engages communities through culture, creativity, storytelling, public humanities, and civic dialogue.

Program Highlights:

Three immersive cultural exchanges in Pittsburgh, the PA Wilds and York
Virtual skill-building and leadership workshops
Regional peer coaching groups
Fellows receive a $10,000 award
Seed funding for innovative community-based projects inspired by their fellowship experience

Applications are due July 8, 2026, at 11:59 p.m.
