The Henry L. and Natalie E. Freund Art Endowment Fund supports a pair of programs within the Sam Fox School: the Freund Teaching Fellowship and the Freund Visiting Artist Program.
Henry L. and Natalie E. Freund Teaching Fellowship
Established in 1995, the Henry L. and Natalie E. Freund Teaching Fellowship promotes the exhibition and acquisition of contemporary art at the Saint Louis Art Museum, as well as the teaching of contemporary art principles in the Sam Fox School. Each fellowship consists of two monthlong residencies, during which recipients teach in the Graduate School of Art and prepare an exhibition for the Museum's Currents series. Recent Freund Fellows include Ellen Gallagher, Matthew Buckingham, Cameron Martin, Angelina Gualdoni, Sarah Oppenheimer, Claudia Schmacke, Bruce Yonemoto, Ian Monroe, Chelsea Knight, and Renata Stih & Frieder Schnock.
The College & Graduate School of Art, part of the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis, and the Saint Louis Art Museum are currently accepting applications for the Henry L. and Natalie E. Freund Teaching Fellowship. Two fellowships will be awarded: one from Fall 2013–Spring 2014, and a second from Fall 2014–Spring 2015. To be considered for an interview at the annual CAA (College Art Association) conference held in New York in February 2013, applications must be received by January 4, 2013, and reviews will continue until filled.
