Garofalo Fellowship is an annual nine-month teaching fellowship that provides an emerging designer the opportunity to teach studio and seminar courses in the undergraduate and graduate programmes and conduct independent design research.

During its second semester, the fellowship includes a public lecture at the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts and an exhibition, which is typically held at the school. The Garofalo Fellowship has made an essential contribution to the school’s culture in the last decade.
