We’ll help you find your way—because we’ve walked it, too.
Stellaris Artist International Fellowship Foundation (SIAFF) is a comprehensive support program designed for visual artists seeking to build an international profile aligned with the U.S. O-1B Artist Visa.
Whether you are self-taught, institutionally trained, newly emerging, or already exhibiting globally, we’re here to help you shape a compelling, credible narrative that positions you as a candidate of extraordinary ability.
We’re doing more than just checking a tick box. From our combined experiences, we learned that a strong O-1B portfolio requires a clear direction to rank a case as compelling. And we want to break this down with you and get your portfolio UCSIS-ready.
At SIAFF, We COMMIT To:
01_Not Giving Up
Every artist is unique - priorities, routes, and needs should look different and we're not afraid to give you our best to support your O-1B Visa application journey.
02_Being Vocal
We don't believe in false promises. Especially since we're working as your mentor for a U.S. visa, we're holding ourselves accountable to being honest and real.
03_Keeping Our Word
Your time is valuable. So is ours. Being an artist in New York demands a lot, so we're going to prioritize punctuality when building your artist visa case.
Meet our current partner:
Galerie Shibumi
We proudly partner with Galerie Shibumi, a daring artist gallery based in New York City. Shibumi champions boldly unique and emerging artists forging unconventional paths, bridging the gap between their artists and industry veterans.
Galerie Shibumi joins SIAFF to execute the necessary O-1B Visa criteria for artists who need support from a highly favored gallery in New York City.
We Take Your O-1B Seriously
As much as we'd love to work with every artist, our bandwidth only allows several artists to join SIAFF per month. Dedication is the hallmark of our mentorship so we encourage you to schedule a consultation sooner than later.
