Mass Cultural Council Artist Fellowship: Painting

Mass Cultural Council Artist Fellowships provide direct, unrestricted support to Massachusetts artists in recognition of exceptional original work, to foster the creation of new art in the Commonwealth. Artist Fellowships in a range of disciplines are awarded to primary creators of original works of art. The Artist Fellowships provide competitive grants of $15,000 and finalist awards of $1,500.

The Painting category includes original work that involves painting of any kind upon any surface. Applicants must submit five JPG images (1200 pixels on the longest side, maximum 5 MB file size each) of work completed in 2016 or later. Works in progress are eligible. Images will be reviewed anonymously, and applicant names should not appear in work samples, titles, or descriptions. The title of the first work sample will be used as the application name.

Applications are submitted online through CaFE (CallforEntry.org). The deadline for applications is Monday, January 27, 2020. For full program guidelines, visit https://massculturalcouncil.org/artists-art/artist-fellowships/application-process/
