Fellowship Description:
An independent jury of three arts professionals competitively awards four grants of $10,000 + $1,000 in professional development funds each to early career Minnesota artists. Fellowships may be used to purchase materials, cover the production costs of new artwork, and supplement living or travel costs. During the fellowship year, each artist receives three studio visits from professional critics, access to MCAD facilities, a culminating exhibition at the MCAD Gallery, a catalog with a critical essay on each artist’s work, and the opportunity to participate in a public panel discussion.
This fellowship program is generously supported by the Jerome Foundation.
