2026 Lighthouse Works Fellows

by Jane Ahrens

From Shore to Studio: Meet the 2026 Fellows at Lighthouse Works

Lighthouse Works is thrilled to announce our 2026 fellowship cohort!

This year, 25 artists, writers, and a composer will join us on Fishers Island, arriving from 13 states across the country. Selected from more than 1,200 applicants by panels of professionals in their fields, this is the most accomplished cohort we have welcomed to date. They were chosen not only for the strength of their work but for the genuine connection each one showed to this place, this environment, and this community.

The cohort spans a wide range of creative practices: painters, sculptors, poets, fiction writers, playwrights, photographers, and a composer. Each of them brings something distinct, and we think you’re going to love getting to know them and spending time with their work.

Throughout the year, we’ll be hosting Artist Talks, Open Studios, Workshops and Community Dinners where you can meet our fellows, see their work as it develops, and be part of the exchange that makes Lighthouse Works what it is.
