Ecker Fellows Program
In 2021, the NEFP supported the establishment of The Ecker Fellowship at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. This program enables Fellows to enhance their artistic practices by engaging with psychoanalytic concepts through customized study and seminar sessions. The Fellowship is a one-year, non-residential, virtual opportunity intended for three early to mid-career professionals in the performing arts. Each artist is paired with a faculty mentor from the Institute, who serves as their advisor. Additionally, Fellows participate in a group seminar together with Mentors and the Program Director. Applications are available on the BPSI website.
