Ruby Fellowships
The Ruby is a collective of creative women and nonbinary folks that values empathy and education. We strive to be a genuine and active community — approachable, inclusive, diverse, open-minded, curious, and kind. The Ruby is a place where thoughtfulness and honesty are encouraged, where we feel not only free but celebrated for being ourselves. At The Ruby, we listen and hear one another, learn from one another, lift one another up, and challenge ourselves to grow. It’s a place to practice radical generosity and to pay careful attention.
We are excited to offer 10 fully funded fellowships to LGBTQ+ individuals and people of color who would not otherwise be able to afford a Ruby membership. These are year-long Full Ruby memberships that will span a year, from May 2020 to May 2021.
We are accepting fellowship applications from March 5 to May 6, 2020. A volunteer committee of Ruby members will review these applications. We are seeking applicants who will regularly use The Ruby as a work space, who might make meaningful progress on their projects during the course of this year, and who are in financial need.
Please note: If you are interested in applying for a regular Ruby membership, our application season will open after our fellowship season closes.
A note about accessibility: The Ruby has a set of stairs leading up to it; we always have a staff member on hand to help if you require assistance. We are saving up to outfit The Ruby with a stairlift and hope to offer this as an option down the line.
