We are pleased to announce that, despite a 23.4% reduction to the Massachusetts Cultural Council state appropriation in the 2010 fiscal year, the MCC will continue to provide direct support to individual artists through the Artist Fellowships Program.
We are announcing changes to the Artist Fellowships Program application schedule. Beginning in September 2009, there will be two different application periods, with deadlines divided by funding categories.
Program guidelines for all categories will be available on September 1.
Deadlines:
The online application for the Drawing, Painting, and Traditional Arts categories will be available September 1. Applications for these categories will be accepted September 1 through October 12, 2009.
The online application for the Choreography, Fiction/Creative Nonfiction, and Poetry categories will be available December 1. Applications for these categories will be accepted December 1, 2009 through January 25, 2010.
This new schedule will mean a faster turnaround time between application and award announcements, while preserving the program's focus on a fair and anonymously judged review. As always, the program aims to foster the creation of new work by Massachusetts artists, the individuals at the center of our state's vibrant creative life.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Dan Blask, Program Coordinator for Artists, at (617) 727-3668 x329 or dan.blask@art.state.ma.us.
