Guggenheim Announces 100th Class of Fellows

The Guggenheim Foundation has announced its 100th class of fellows, encompassing 198 artists and scholars across 53 fields. The 2025 recipients represent 83 academic institutions, 32 US states, and two Canadian provinces, and range in age from 32 to 79. Many fellows are pursuing projects that “directly respond” to “timely themes” such as climate change, Indigenous studies, identity, democracy and politics, incarceration, and the “evolving purpose of community,” according to a press release.

“At a time when intellectual life is under attack, the Guggenheim Fellowship celebrates a century of support for the lives and work of visionary scientists, scholars, writers, and artists,” said Edward Hirsch, award-winning poet and President of the Guggenheim Foundation. “We believe that these creative thinkers can take on the challenges we all face today and guide our society towards a better and more hopeful future.”

Miranda July, Nicole Krauss, and Jonathan Lethem are among this year’s Fiction fellows, while such poets as Cynthia Cruz, Richie Hofmann, and Brandon D. Som have been selected as Poetry fellows. For a full list of recipients, click here.
