Artist Trust/WSAC Fellowships 

 

Artist Trust/Washington State Arts Commission Fellowship awards $6,500 to practicing professional artists of exceptional talent and demonstrated ability. The Fellowship is a merit-based, not a project-based award. Fellowship recipients must present a Meet the Artist Event to a community that has little or no access to the artist and their work.

Artist Trust/Washington State Arts Commission Fellowships are awarded in two-year cycles: Music, Media, Literature and Crafts disciplines are awarded in odd-numbered years (2009). Emerging Fields & Cross-Disciplinary, Performing, Visual and Traditional & Folk Arts Fellowships are awarded in even-numbered years (2008). A selection panel of three artists and arts professionals in each discipline select the Fellowship recipients.
