The Sendak Fellowship was established in 2010 as a residency program for artists who tell stories with illustration. The fellowship offers the time for artists to explore their craft outside the limitations of everyday life and in the relative isolation of a rural setting.
This summer the fellowship is moving to Scotch Hill Farm, formerly owned by Mr. Sendak, in Cambridge, New York. Two fellows will be provided their own fully equipped cottage with kitchen and studio space and receive a fellow’s stipend.
This year’s Sendak Fellows are Nora Krug and Harry Bliss. Harry Bliss is a syndicated cartoonist and cover artist for The New Yorker. His self-titled single panel gag cartoon ‘BLISS’ appears in major newspapers across the United States. Nora Krug received a Society of Illustrators Gold Medal and her illustrations have appeared in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, and Vanity Fair. She is an Associate Professor for Illustration at Parsons the New School for Design.
