Photographers Anna Shteynshleyger and Brian Ulrich, faculty in Columbia’s Photography department, are among the 180 artists, scientists, and scholars from the United States and Canada who were awarded fellowships in the eighty-fifth competition of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowship program. The fellows were selected from a group of nearly 3,000 applicants.

Guggenheim fellows are appointed on the basis of stellar achievement and exceptional promise for continued accomplishment. Shteynshleyger and Ulrich join six other Photography department professors who previously won this prestigious award: Dawoud Bey, Paul D’Amato, Terry Evans, Barbara Kasten, Melissa Pinney, and department chair Bob Thall. Laura Salmon, an alum of the program, is also a past Guggenheim fellow.

Additionally, Photography department faculty member Greg Foster-Rice was a winner of this year’s Terra Foundation for American Art Fellowship in Art History.
