Get matched →Rungh's Wikipedia Scholarship is Canada's leading scholarship program focused on Indigenous, Black and racialized artists and communities (IBPOC). Growing out of annual Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon events hosted by the Surrey Art Gallery and Centre A Gallery (2019–2025) in Vancouver, British Columbia, the program was created and launched by Rungh in 2024. 2026 marks its third year.
Scholars are selected by referring partner organizations and then hosted by Rungh over a 6-month virtual residency. Skills workshops, "draft" Wikipedia entries, archival research, and reflective writing are part of the residency process of learning and sharing.
Scholars are encouraged to focus their research on Canadian, IBPOC identified creators, communities and arts movements.
