Fellowships of $15,000 and finalist awards of $1,500 to Massachusetts artists to recognize exceptional original work and to foster the creation of new art in traditional arts, drawing and printmaking, and poetry. The fellowships will be awarded to primary creators of original works of art.
In the 2020 cycle, the MCC welcomes Artist Fellowships applications in the following categories:
Drawing and Printmaking: This category includes work created using the techniques, materials, media, and methods of drawing and printmaking, collage, artists' books, and computer-generated work.
Poetry: This category includes original work in all forms and genres of poetry. Translations are not eligible.
Traditional Arts: This category accepts work in the traditional arts - including music, craft, dance, verbal arts - created and preserved within communities defined by cultural connections such as a common ethnic heritage, language, religion, occupation, or geographic area. Whether sung or told, handcrafted or performed, traditional art forms reflect a community's shared sense of aesthetic heritage. The folk and traditional arts typically are learned during the course of daily living from someone steeped in the tradition, rather than through books, classes, or other means of institutional instruction. This Artist Fellowships category is for individuals not groups.
