Philadelphia-Area Artists Invited to Apply for Pew Fellowships in the Arts
Deadline: December 3, 2004

Funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts and administered by the University of the Arts (<a href="http://uarts.edu/">http://uarts.edu/</a>), the Pew Fellowships in the Arts initiative awards grants of $50,000 to artists working in a wide variety of performing, visual, and literary disciplines.

The intent of PFA is to award outstanding artists who live and work in the five-county Philadelphia area (Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties), who have demonstrated commitment to and professional accomplishment within their field, and who will continue their artistic growth within the five-county Philadelphia area. The fellowships provide artists with economic freedom so that they have the opportunity to concentrate on their work over a considerable period of time.

Fellowships may be awarded to artists at any stage of their career development, from early to mature, and to artists working in a wide range of aesthetics and traditions. Up to twelve fellowships are awarded annually.

PFA makes awards to artists working in twelve different discipline categories, which rotate on a four-year cycle. Applications are accepted annually for the three discipline categories under consideration in that year. For 2005, the fields of application are: Fiction and Creative Nonfiction; Media Arts; and Works on Paper.

See the program’s Web site for complete guidelines and application information.
