“The Fellowship is intellectually rigorous, outstandingly well-structured and organized, and enlightening in bringing together a truly global network of arts managers. Insights from Michael Kaiser, Brett Egan, guest speakers, and other Fellows shape my work in the UK from day to day.”

"The best part about this program is the fact that it’s not just the information that the DeVos Institute is sharing with you, but also the knowledge and the skills that you take from the other Fellows as well. It’s tremendous."

"The International Fellowship inspires, empowers, and provides philosophy, vision, and practical tools to make real changes back home. The program makes it possible to share the Fellows' experiences on different levels, which I appreciate so much. The program also is a gateway for further effective partnerships on a global scale."
