Mass Cultural Council Artist Fellowships: Sculpture/Installation/New Genres

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. In the 2021 grant cycle, Artist Fellowships are $15,000, and Finalist awards are $1,500.

The Sculpture/Installation/New Genres category includes original three-dimensional sculpture, installation art, time-based media works of art, conceptually driven work, experimental, hybrid, and community-based practice in the visual arts. Applicants must upload up to three video files to their CaFE Portfolio. The total length of videos should be 5 minutes or fewer. Work must be completed in 2017 or later; works in progress are eligible. The panel will review work samples anonymously, and applicant names should not appear in work samples or work sample descriptions.

Eligibility is limited to Massachusetts artists. The application deadline is Monday, February 8, 2021. For full program guidelines, visit https://massculturalcouncil.org/artists-art/artist-fellowships/application-process
