Monet, Rembrandt, Van Gogh — their names are famous now, but that wasn’t always the case. To help support the next generation of masterpiece makers, Chubb sponsors three fellows every year at the New York Academy of Art. The fellows are provided with a studio, a stipend, and complete access to the school’s facilities, faculty, classes and critiques for one year, during which time they develop an independent body of work. Their fellowship year culminates in an exhibition of their work — where they can further cement their stamp on the art world.
Wilba says the best part of his fellowship is professional exposure to the industry and spending ever hour he can in his studio.
