New York-based arts nonprofit A Blade of Grass (ABoG) has announced the three members of its 2026 In Fellowship cohort: Emily Johnson / Catalyst, The Projects/Space, and UNDOC+Collective. Each fellow receives $25,000 in support and a $25,000 honorarium for their socially engaged practices. The fellowship, established in 2025, focuses this year on gathering as a form of movement building and resource distribution.
The fellowship matters because it directly funds artists and collectives who act as organizers and cultural agents at a time when social and cultural infrastructures are strained. By centering gathering as a deliberate act of resistance, ABoG highlights the critical role of artists in shaping collective futures, making the program a model for supporting community-responsive art practices.
