Mass Cultural Council Artist Fellowship: Crafts

Mass Cultural Council Artist Fellowships provide direct, unrestricted support to Massachusetts artists. The fellowships recognize exceptional original work and foster the creation of new art in the Commonwealth. Artist Fellowships are awarded to primary creators of original works of art.

The Crafts category includes original work made substantially by hand, including art centered on the skill and technique of manipulating glass, metal, wood, fiber, clay, and other materials. In the 2021 grant cycle, Artist Fellowships are $15,000, and Finalist awards are $1,500.

Applicants must upload five JPG images to their CaFE Portfolio. Images must be at least 1200 pixels on the longest side with a maximum file size of 5 MB. Work samples will be reviewed anonymously, and applicant names should not appear in the images or work sample descriptions. The deadline for applications is Monday, February 8, 2021.
