\u2022 Project Awards: Awards of $7,500 for emerging, mid-career, and mature artists in all disciplines for specific, short-term projects that have a clear benefit to the artist and the development of his\/her work. Approximately 25 Project Awards are granted annually. Project Awards are available in all 10 artistic disciplines.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Fellowships: $18,000 awards for mid-career or mature artists to focus their energy and attention for a one-year period on developing their creative work. The Fellowship program awards grants in 10 artistic disciplines that rotate on a two-year cycle. Approximately 10 Fellowships are awarded each year. For 2016, the categories are: media arts, multidiscipline\/new genre, music composition, presentation\/interpretation, and visual arts.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Distinguished Artist Award: A single $40,000 annual award for a mature artist of recognized stature with a history of creative excellence and accomplishment in the arts.<\/p>\n
The Distinguished Artist Award and the Fellowship\/Project awards have distinct applications and review processes. These awards are designed to provide artists the resources to concentrate and reflect on their work, to immerse themselves in a creative endeavor, and to experiment, explore, and develop their artistry more fully.<\/p>\n
