Alpine Fellowship is a charitable foundation that supports, commissions and showcases artists, writers, academics and playwrights at all stages of their careers. They are committed to discovering emerging talent, to disseminating new ideas and to sharing thoughts about art, literature and philosophy. All of their work is built around a symposium – an annual gathering of artists, philosophers, writers and academics at which we encourage like-minded individuals to share expertise and knowledge with those from a diverse array of creative and intellectual professions.
