| Nebraska Arts Council Individual Artist Fellowship | Updated April 08th, 2009 |
|
The Individual Artist Fellowships program recognizes exemplary achievements by originating artists in their fields of endeavor and supports the contributions made by Nebraska artists to the quality of life in this state. This is a competitive program, where applicants are adjudicated by a professional panel according to the merit of their work. This is not a project grant. In other words, applicants do not make a submission to the fellowship program in order to receive money for a project that is planned or is in the works. Rather, it is designed to award outstanding achievement in work that has already been completed by the artist and is submitted for review. 18 years old or older and resident of the state of Nebraska for two years prior to the application date. A signed and notarized affidavit of residency is required to be on file at the NAC offices – to find out if one is on file, call the NAC offices: 402-595-2122; 1-800-341-4067. Forms can be downloaded from the NAC website. - Cannot be enrolled in an undergraduate, graduate or certificate-granting program in the artistic field in which the application is being made. - Professional commitment to the artistic field in which the application is being made. - Creator of work, not interpreter of the work of others. - All previous fellowship winners. - Only one application per person is eligible for review. Because the grant categories are on a rotating schedule, the deadline for literature will not until November 15, 2011.

Please include sample work with the application. send: Complete MS looking for: Poetry |
