The Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts is pleased to share this news!

ArtCenter College of Design has announced the establishment of the Mike Kelley Endowed Scholarship, which will greatly increase access for the next generation of artists to the College’s world-class Graduate Art program while serving as a lasting tribute to one of ArtCenter’s most beloved and influential instructors.

Among the most prestigious scholarships offered to ArtCenter students in any discipline, the Mike Kelley Endowed Scholarship will provide generous financial support to an MFA student through to their graduation. Because the scholarship is supported by an endowed fund, it will honor, in perpetuity, the indelible mark that Kelley made in the lives of scores of artists as they prepared to launch their own creative practices.⁠
⁠
The scholarship was spearheaded by the Graduate Art program’s Free Grad Art initiative, which raises funds to establish endowed scholarships to help minimize the indebtedness of its MFA graduates. The initiative’s inaugural effort was Artists for ArtCenter, an auction of works donated by ArtCenter alumni and faculty members.⁠
⁠
Inspired and moved by these artists’ exceptional generosity, the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts (established by the artist during his lifetime), stepped forward with a $100,000 grant and an unprecedented pledge to match additional contributions to bring the endowed fund’s value to the milestone level of $1 million. ⁠
