Since the fellowship program’s inception in 1984, NYFA has awarded over $27 million to over 4,000 artists in New York State. Past notable fellows include Terry McMillan, Junot Diaz, Deborah Kass, Antony Hegarty, Shirin Neshat, and Eric Overmyer among many others. NYFA’s Artists’ Fellowships are administered with leadership support from the New York State Council on the Arts, a State agency.
Inspired by the NYFA Source Hotline, #ArtistHotline is dedicated to creating an ongoing online conversation around the professional side of artistic practice. #ArtistHotline occurs on the third Wednesday of each month on Twitter. Our goal is to help artists discover the resources needed, online and off, to develop sustainable careers. This initiative is supported by the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation.
