ASCA Individual Artists and Arts Administrators Fellowship Program

 

The Alabama State Council on the Arts (ASCA) is now accepting applications for the 2010-2011 Artist Fellowships and Fellowship in Arts Administration Program. The application deadline is Monday, March 1, 2010.

 

The Council’s Fellowships provide direct assistance to Alabama artists and arts administrators across a range of disciplines, to recognize exceptional work and to support further development of their talents. Fellowships give individuals the financial ability to hone and deepen their craft. The program supports artists and administrators in all career stages, including emerging and mid-career as well as well established artists and administrators. These highly competitive awards also provide artists and administrators with recognition and affirmation from their peers and the public.

 

The Council awards Fellowships of $5,000 for artists and arts administrators working in crafts, dance, design, media/photography, music, literature, theatre and visual arts. The program does not provide funding for academic study in pursuit of a college degree. An applicant must be a legal resident of Alabama who has lived in the state for two years prior to the application deadline.

 

For additional information and submission requirements, interested applicants should review the guidelines available on the Council’s web site at www.arts.alabama.gov.
