From our team
A few words from our team
The people behind the NOVA Fellows Program, on what they hope to see from the creators who apply.
We’re looking for creators with a distinctive vision, the ability to bring it to life, and the determination to see it through. We’re excited to meet the people behind those ideas and help them take the next step!
The NOVA program is an invitation to trust the creative process. A NOVA grant enables creators to lead with a vision, take creative risks, and grow through exploration and a hands-on experience of making something they believe in, supported by a community that believes in them.
I’m looking forward to being part of a team that supports our creators and gives them the foundation they need to bring their visions to life!
