Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation invites applications for New Jersey artist fellowships

Established in 1979, the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation nurtures and funds the creation and presentation of diverse artistic expression and connects people to meaningful arts experiences within the region and beyond.

The foundation invites applications from practicing New Jersey artists for its Individual Artist Fellowship program. Artistic categories supported through the program in 2024 include film/video, digital/electronic, interdisciplinary, painting, prose, and printmaking/drawing/book arts.

Historically, fellowship awards have ranged between $4,000 and $32,000, and artists may use their fellowship awards to pursue work in their artistic discipline, including purchasing supplies, studying in a workshop, renting studio space, or otherwise freeing their time. Fellowship funds may not be used for travel out of the country, study as a matriculated student in either a graduate or undergraduate program or purchasing permanent equipment (equipment with a resale value exceeding $350 or having a life span over three years).

In an attempt to increase the representation of artists from the counties from which the number of applications is historically low, the State Arts Council will be offering awards in higher amounts, when possible, for fellows in the following New Jersey counties: Atlantic, Burlington, Cumberland, Cape May, Camden, Gloucester, Ocean, Salem, or Warren.

Applicants must be current, permanent residents of New Jersey and age 18 or older to be eligible.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation website.
