University of Iowa
2024 - 2025

HEMPHILL is pleased to share that Rush Baker IV has been announced as the Painting & Drawing Grant Wood Fellow at the University of Iowa for the 2024-2025 academic year.

The Grant Wood Fellowship program currently provides three one-year fellowships in painting & drawing, printmaking, and interdisciplinary performance. Fellows are selected through a national competition and provided with furnished living quarters at the Grant Wood Art Colony. The application process is open in January of each year, with selections made in April.

During the academic year, each fellow will teach a total of two courses at the University of Iowa, leaving the rest of the time for the artist’s own work and research. A teaching salary, benefits, and studio are provided.

Fellows culminate their Fellowship with an end-of-year exhibition.
