MacColl Johnson Fellowship

The Robert and Margaret MacColl Johnson Fellowship Fund, established at the Rhode Island Foundation in 2003, provides three $25,000 fellowships each year, rotating among composers, writers, and visual artists on a three-year cycle. The 2013 fellowships will be awarded to emerging and mid-career Rhode Island visual artists whose work demonstrates exceptional creativity, rigorous dedication and consistent artistic practice, and significant artistic merit.

Applicants will be evaluated on: (1) quality of work, artistic development, and creative contribution to the visual arts field; and (2) ability to demonstrate that the fellowship will advance the artist's career, benefit his/her work, and enable the artist to achieve artistic goals otherwise not financially feasible.

Applications must be submitted digitally and must include: statement of purpose, educational background, list of awards/grants/fellowships/honors, resume/CV, artist profile information, and work samples. You may submit up to 8 images or 3 videos (no more than 8 total work samples combined). Work samples should be created within the past five years. The application period is July 5, 2013 through September 6, 2013 at 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time.
