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 $12,000 and finalist awards of $1,000.

The Painting category includes original work that involves painting of any kind upon any surface. Applicants must submit five JPG images (1920 pixels on the longest side, maximum 5 MB file size each) through the online CaFE application. Work samples will be reviewed anonymously, so applicant names and identifying information regarding commissions, awards, reviews, and presentations should not appear on work samples. Work completed prior to 2014 is ineligible. The application deadline is January 29, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. MST.

Eligibility is limited to local Massachusetts artists. For full program guidelines, visit http://www.massculturalcouncil.org/applications/fellows_guidelines.asp
