Description

📣 Calling all next generation of BIPOC arts and culture journalists! Apply to join the 2025-26 BIPOC Critics Lab Cohort, in partnership with founder and cultural critic, Jose Solís! We're also thrilled to announce that the upcoming cohort will be in partnership with Critical Minded.


After successful cohorts for the past two years, we’re honored to continue Solís’ commitment to creating an educational space for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) writers in the realm of cultural criticism. Selected members will have the opportunity to learn all aspects of arts journalism through a variety of mediums beyond the written word.


Applications are now open for the upcoming cohort. The deadline to apply is Monday, July 7 at 11:59PM.


Sessions for the Lab will span the course of The Public’s 2025-26 season, with 10 weekly sessions in the Fall, followed by four monthly sessions in the Spring. Those chosen to participate will receive offers to join the cohort in August, with the cohort officially beginning in mid-September. This iteration of the cohort will be a hybrid model of online sessions and optional in-person activities. Participants who meet the attendance requirements will be assigned a future commissioned piece with compensation.


Please reach out to us at [email protected] for any inquiries.


How to apply

Applications are now open until July 7, 11:59PM. The application asks applicants to answer a series of general background questions, as well as upload answers to three prompts:

  • Please upload a resume of your proudest moments.
  • Please respond to the question, “What are my dreams for criticism over the next year?” in the medium you see fit.
