Opportunity
Artist Fellowhips
Award Info:
. Fellows are provided with housing, food, studio space, a $250 travel allowance, and a stipend of $1,500 to defray the costs of shipping materials, the purchase of art supplies, and other expenses incurred in making art in a remote location. The organization's belief is that no artist should have to spend money to accept the opportunity of a fellowship. While fellows' primary obligation is to the solitary pursuit of their creative projects, every artist is expected to participate in a single studio tour, reading, or performance for the public at the conclusion of their fellowship. In addition, fellows have the chance (though they are not required) to teach workshops, mentor students, or invite them for studio visits.
Description:
Artists at any stage of their career are encouraged to apply for a fellowship through our online application system. Applicants are required to fill out an application form, submit work samples, attach a CV and work sample statement, and remit a $25 application fee.
While our staff reviews applications for completeness, a jury of experts in each artist’s field evaluates the applications and identifies the finalists. Finalists will be invited for phone interviews, and all applicants will be informed of the committee’s decision by the notification date for the relevant application period. Artistic excellence is the primary criterion for acceptance into the Fellowship Program.
