Artist Fellowship Awards recognize the significant contributions of professional artists in Wisconsin. These awards provide unrestricted funds to support continued artistic/ professional development, enabling artists to create new work, complete work in progress, and pursue activities which contribute to their artistic growth.

Two Year Cycles

Artist Fellowship Awards are awarded in a variety of disciplines over a two year cycle:

Literary Arts, Music Composition, and Choreography & Performance Art

In even-numbered years, three panels are convened to review literary arts, music composition, and choreography & performance art. The panel for:

  • Literary Arts will review applications and recommend seven literary artists
     

  • Music Composition will review applications and recommend one music composer
     

  • Choreography and Performance Art will review applications and recommend one artist

to each receive an $8,000 Artist Fellowship Award. The number of awards available in each discipline category corresponds to the number of applications received.

Visual Arts and Media Arts

In odd-numbered years, two panels are convened to review visual and media arts. The panel for:

  • Visual Arts will review applications and recommend seven visual artists


  •  
  • Media Arts will review applications and recommend one media artist

to each receive an $8,000 Artist Fellowship Award. The number of awards available in each discipline category corresponds to the number of applications received.
