Wyoming Arts Council 2018 Visual Arts Fellowship

Visual Arts Fellowships are awards of merit based on the artist's portfolio, honoring the work of Wyoming visual artists whose work reflects serious and exceptional aesthetic investigation. Artists working in any media, including film and video, may apply. Applications are juried by noted artists, curators, and others in the visual arts from outside the state. Up to three fellowships may be given each year, and jurors may also select honorable mentions.

Recipients receive $3,000 up front and agree to participate in the Wyoming Arts Council Biennial Exhibition, held every two years at a major visual arts institution or museum in the state. The exhibition is curated by one of the jurors, who serves on the panel for two years. Recipients are included in the exhibition catalog, retain all rights to their work, and must submit a final report form due June 30, 2018.

Applications must be submitted through CaFE (callforentry.org). Artists may submit up to ten work samples, of which up to two may be detail images. Film and video applicants may submit up to four samples and have the option to submit stills. Applicants must submit an artist's statement, a resume or CV, and verify eligibility requirements. Artist names must not appear on the application or work samples except where specifically requested to preserve anonymous judging.
