The Robert Sterling Clark Foundation Fellowships at the Vermont Studio Center (VSC) were established to support the development of international artists and to broaden their opportunities for intercultural dialogue inthe United States.

2011 marks the inaugural year of the program, and the five fellows have spent two months working at VSC with 70 other artists in residence, providing all residents with an exciting opportunity for exchange and dialogue.

The program continues in 2012, when VSC will welcome five fellows from South America to the community.
