California Community Foundation Invites Los Angeles Artists to Apply for Visual Arts Fellowships

The California Community Foundation is accepting applications for its 2008 Fellowships for Visual Artists.

The foundation will award a total of $260,000 in fellowships to fourteen Los Angeles artists working in the visual arts. Ten fellowships of $20,000 each will be awarded to mid-career artists, while four fellowships of $15,000 each will be awarded to emerging artists.

Artists must be working in the visual arts (e.g., painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, sculpture, installation, experimental film and video, interdisciplinary/mixed media, or performance art in which visual art must be a significant and integral component). Artists whose primary practice is performing or media arts (e.g., music, dance, acting, film, video, or moving animation) are not eligible.

"Mid-career artists" are defined as artists who have seven or more years of active professional experience in their field. "Emerging artists" are defined as artists who have up to seven years of professional experience in their field (excluding accomplishments during bachelor�s or master�s degree programs). All applicants must have resided full-time in Los Angeles County for at least five years prior to the application deadline.


More on eligibility:


1. I am an artist who works in multiple disciplines. I am a painter, but I also work in photography. Should I apply for both areas?

No, you should choose a single discipline that best reflects your work.

2. I am an individual artist but have worked with an artistic team (or collaborative) for the past 10 years. All of my work samples reflect my team (collaborative). Should I apply as an individual or as a team?

The Fellowships for Visual Artists are for individual artists. Each individual artist who is part of the team (collaborative) is eligible to apply. However, recognition will be given only to the individual artist who receives the award.

3. I am currently enrolled in a Master of Fine Arts program but have professionally exhibited for nine years. Am I eligible to apply?

No, students are not eligible.

4. I am an artist who has lived in Los Angeles County for more than five years but currently reside outside of the area (Orange County, Ventura, Inland Empire, etc.). Can I apply?

No, you must be a current resident of Los Angeles County.
