Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Fellowship - Painting

The Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC) 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 of work completed after 2012. Images must be saved in JPG format with 1920 pixels on the longest side, minimum 72 dpi resolution, and maximum file size of 3 MB. Panel review of work samples is anonymous; neither your name nor any information identifying commissions, awards, reviews, and/or presentations should appear on your work sample or work sample description. Images should be selected and ordered (1-5) as you wish them to be viewed from left to right.
