Deadline: 15-Apr-22
The North Dakota Council on the Arts is offering Individual Artist Fellowship Program to support outstanding and established practicing individual artists residing in North Dakota.
Each proposal must include three live, in person, community components in at least two of the eight North Dakota Regions that will provide greater visibility for the artist's work and promote meaningful engagement between the artist and North Dakota audiences.
A public performance, exhibition, reading, open workshop, or demonstration that the public can attend, are some examples of possible community components. Proposed activities are to also engage diverse audiences and communities.
Award Information
Two fellowships of $5,000 are annually awarded for projects that will enhance or expand the applicant's artistic skills and/or process and help the artist generate greater visibility and exposure to potential audiences.
This Program Funds
- Artists who see the arts as an ongoing vocation, rather than as a hobby, pastime, or occasional pursuit; and who have already completed their training, if they pursued formal training at all;
- Artists who at the time of application have a significant record of having generated, completed and publicly presented/exhibited/published work in the discipline in which support is requested;
- Artists whose primary goal is to generate new works, as opposed to remounting or reinterpreting existing works.
Eligibility Criteria
Eligible Individual Artist Applicants Must:
- Be pursuing original artwork on an ongoing basis within an artistic discipline;
- Be the originator of the work, not an interpreter of the work of others;
- Be a United States citizen or have attained permanent resident status;
- Be at least 18 years of age;
- Be a North Dakota resident as of January 1, 2022 and continue to reside in North Dakota throughout the contract period;
