Join us as we walk you through the application process.
Artists working in Crafts/Sculpture, Printmaking/Drawing/Book Arts, Nonfiction Literature, Poetry, or Digital/Electronic Arts are encouraged to apply for 2017 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowships.
Fellowships are awarded in 15 different disciplines over a three-year period, and give individual originating artists living and working in New York State $7,000 in cash awards for unrestricted use. These Fellowships are not project grants, but are intended to fund an artist’s vision or voice regardless of their level of artistic achievement. The application deadline is Wednesday, January 25, 2017 at 11:59 PM (EST).
