Wyoming Visual Arts Fellowships 2013

The Wyoming Arts Council invites Wyoming artists to apply for its 2013 Visual Arts Fellowships. Fellowships honor the work of Wyoming visual artists that reflects serious and exceptional aesthetic investigation.

Artists working in any of the following media are welcome to apply: experimental (conceptual/new media), graphic (printmaking/book arts), painting, sculpture, installation, photography (includes experimental, color, black & white, photocopy and computer), clay, fiber, glass, leather, metal, paper, plastic, wood, mixed media, film or video. It is strongly recommended that each artist submit 10 work samples. Artists may submit some "detail" images if appropriate. Film/video artists should submit 6 samples and have the option to submit stills. Work is viewed electronically. Fellowship judging will be anonymous and decisions are based solely on the merit of the work submitted. Please ensure your name does not appear anywhere on the application or work samples, except where specifically requested.

Out of state jurors are chosen to represent a wide range of stylistic and aesthetic concerns, a broad understanding of contemporary visual art, and ethnic, gender and age diversity. The judging session will be held in Laramie on February 28, 2013. Fellowship results will be announced on Saturday, March 2, 2013 at the University of Wyoming Art Museum following the CLICK! Conference. The public is welcome to attend a reception from 5:30 - 8:00 p.m. Entrants not selected for fellowships will be notified in writing after March 4, 2013. Each year the Wyoming Arts Council awards up to three $3,000 fellowships in the visual arts. In addition to the three recipients, each panel identifies up to two honorable mentions. Fellowship recipients agree to participate in the Wyoming Arts Council Biennial Exhibition. The next Biennial will be held in the fall of 2013 at the Nicolaysen Art Museum in Casper, WY.
