Year-round Program Offers Pivotal Artist Support to Early Career Latine Artists

PARK CITY, UTAH, October 10, 2024 - The nonprofit Sundance Institute announced today the storytellers selected for the 2024 Latine Fellowship and Collab Scholarship.

This year's Latine Fellowship and Scholarship recipients come from diverse disciplines, all united by their shared goals of growth and increasing representation for a wide range of Latine voices, said Hajnal Molnar-Szakacs, Director of Sundance Institute's Artist Accelerator and Women at Sundance.

Each fellow will receive a $10,000 unrestricted grant, bespoke artist development support, creative and tactical support on their projects, and regular opportunities for community engagement and networking. The fellows were chosen from Sundance Institute artist support programs across fiction and nonfiction.

The Sundance Institute Latine Collab Scholarship will award five emerging Latine artists, new to the Sundance Institute Artist community, a yearlong mentorship with a Sundance Artist Alumni focused on craft and career development.
