Global Executive Arts Management Fellowship

The DeVos Institute Global Executive Fellowship is a three-year, fully-subsidized program for arts and culture executives. The Institute invites applications for the 2026-2028 cohort from leaders of arts and culture non-profits worldwide by November 6, 2025.

Led by DeVos Institute Chairman Michael M. Kaiser and President Brett Egan, the high-intensity program provides training and guidance in strategic planning, leadership, fundraising, marketing, board governance, human resources, and financial planning coupled with peer learning, networking, and time for personal reflection. It is designed as both a catalyst for leaders at critical points in their careers, as well as a high-touch, long-term investment in a generation of leaders who will support one another, and their fields of service, for a lifetime.

Founded in 2001, the Fellowship network has over 250 alumni around the United States and in over 50 countries.

Individuals engage in the Fellowship at a point of career inflection when they are well-positioned to make a significant investment in their work. It serves CEOs, Executive Directors, General Managers, and similar who have strategic responsibilities across all core functions of their organization.

Fellows attend a four-week residency in July/Early August for three consecutive years and engage in activities between residencies.
