CRITICAL INSIGHT

a new generative arts journalism fellowship

Critical Insight is a new generative writing fellowship that unites dynamic emerging voices in arts journalism with high-impact cultural critics and reporters through an industry-first partnership between Pittsburgh Public Theater and American Theatre magazine. Fellows are immersed in arts and criticism for 7 months and have the opportunity to develop their portfolio while being a part of conversations at the cutting edge of the fields. Critical Insight is a collaboration between arts organizations, critics and arts journalists, and publishing partners, all of whom benefit from the healthier arts economies good criticism generates.
