Defying Boundaries: MacArthur Fellows at 45

This moment calls for creative courage. For 45 years, MacArthur Fellows have expanded the boundaries of possibility by questioning conventions, crossing disciplines, and driving collective progress. Throughout 2026, the Foundation is celebrating the groundbreaking work of the Fellows and inspiring public dialogue through a series of nationwide events and conversations. 

We invite you to celebrate creativity and explore connections through your participation in an event. New events will be added throughout the year.
