The Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy is currently accepting applications for the Thorpe Fellowship, which provides funding for emerging professionals & graduate students in architecture or historic preservation to attend our annual conference.
This year’s conference, Frank Lloyd Wright & the Desert, Then & Now, will take place in Scottsdale, Arizona, November 4-8. Conference tours and talks enable Fellows to deepen their understanding of Wright’s architecture and immerse themselves in the community of scholars, practitioners, Wright building stewards, and others who are dedicated to preserving this important architectural legacy. Fellows receive a free core registration for the conference, which includes three days of talks and tours, beginning with the opening reception and ending with a gala dinner.
The deadline to apply for this competitive award is Friday, August 7. Notifications will be made in late August. Additional information can be found at: savewright.org/thorpe-fellows
