The Guggenheim Foundation celebrates its centennial with refreshed brand identity and website, and special exhibition chronicling its history and impact on creative and intellectual life.
(New York, NY--April 15, 2025) -- The Board of Trustees of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation announced today their appointment of the 100th class of Guggenheim Fellows, including 198 distinguished individuals working across 53 disciplines. Chosen through a rigorous application and peer review process from a pool of nearly 3,500 applicants, the Class of 2025 Guggenheim Fellows was tapped based on both prior career achievement and exceptional promise. As established in 1925 by founder Senator Simon Guggenheim, each Fellow receives a monetary stipend to pursue independent work at the highest level under “the freest possible conditions.”
The 100th class of Fellows is part of the Guggenheim Foundation’s yearlong celebration marking a century of transformative impact on American intellectual and cultural life. In addition to appointing its newest class, the Foundation also launches a refreshed brand identity and website this month and will present a special exhibit later this year in collaboration with The New York Historical, highlighting rarely-seen treasures from its vast archive.
“At a time when intellectual life is under attack, the Guggenheim Fellowship celebrates a century of support for the lives and work of visionary scientists, scholars, writers, and artists,” said Edward Hirsch, award-winning poet and President of the Guggenheim Foundation. “We believe that these creative thinkers can take on the challenges we all face today and guide our society towards a better and more hopeful future.”
In all, 53 scholarly disciplines and artistic fields, 83 academic institutions, 32 US states and the District of Columbia, and two Canadian provinces are represented in the 2025 class, who range in age from 32 to 79. More than a third of the 100th class of Fellows do not hold a full-time affiliation with a college or university. Many Fellows’ projects directly respond to timely themes and issues such as climate change, Indigenous studies, identity, democracy and politics, incarceration, and the evolving purpose of community. Since its founding in 1925, the Guggenheim Foundation has awarded over $400 million in fellowships to more than 19,000 Fellows.
Notable Individuals in the 2025 class of Guggenheim Fellows include:

Special Exhibit Celebrates a Century of Cultural Impact
In addition to the 100th class of Fellows, the Guggenheim Foundation is collaborating with The New York Historical to present a special, limited-run exhibit set to open later this year. The exhibit will chronicle the Foundation’s rich history and profound influence on American intellectual life and creative achievement. On view will be rarely or never-before-seen materials from the organization’s vast archive, highlighting the groundbreaking works produced by a century of Fellows. On view August 29-November 30, 2025. Further details to be announced.
Refreshed Brand Identity
This month, the Guggenheim Foundation unveiled a refreshed visual brand identity, as well as a completely revamped website. The design of the Foundation’s new brand identity, led by Pentagram’s Matt Willey, Michael Bierut, and Jonny Sikov, reinforces its remarkable heritage and ongoing relevance on the occasion of the organization's 100th anniversary. Elevating the word “Fellowship” to the forefront of the organization’s communications shifts focus to the transformative effect that the Guggenheim Foundation’s grants have had on individual lives over the past century. Bold, all upper-case typography in a headline-like custom font emphasizes the contemporary relevance of the organization’s mission and acknowledges the impact that each Fellow has on his or her their respective field of activity and on the world at large.
About the Guggenheim Foundation
Created and initially funded in 1925 by US Senator Simon and Olga Guggenheim in memory of their son John Simon, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation has sought to “further the development of scholars and artists by assisting them to engage in research in any field of knowledge and creation in any of the arts, under the freest possible conditions.”
Since its establishment, the Guggenheim Foundation has granted over $400 million in Fellowships to more than 19,000 individuals, among whom are more than 125 Nobel laureates, members of all the national academies, winners of the Pulitzer Prize, Fields Medal, Turing Award, Bancroft Prize, National Book Award, and other internationally recognized honors. The broad range of fields of study is a unique characteristic of the Fellowship program.
The Guggenheim Foundation centers the talents and instincts of the Fellows, whose passions often have broad and immediate social impact. For example, in 1936, Zora Neale Hurston wrote Their Eyes Were Watching God with the support of a Guggenheim Fellowship and dedicated it to the Foundation’s first president, Henry Allen Moe. Photographer Robert Frank’s seminal book, The Americans, was the product of a cross-country tour supported by two Guggenheim Fellowships. The accomplishments of other early Fellows like e.e. cummings, Jacob Lawrence, Rachel Carson, James Baldwin, Martha Graham, and Linus Pauling also demonstrate the strength of the Guggenheim Foundation’s core values and the power and impact of its approach.
