Applications for the California Arts Council’s Individual Artists Fellowship program will open on April 15th.
The individual arts fellowship, which launches on the central coast, will accept applications from creators across Monterey, San Benito, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, and Ventura counties.
There are three fellowships being awarded: Emerging Artist Fellows for artists beginning their public careers, with a $5,000 award; Established Artist Fellows for mid-career artists with a consistent body of work, with a $10,000 award; and the Legacy Artist Fellows for artists with a significant body of work produced over a substantial period of time, with a $50,000 award.
The California Arts Council has selected Arts Council Santa Cruz County, which focuses exclusively on the Central Coast, as one of eight organizations statewide to lead the Individual Artists Fellowship.
By collaborating with local arts agencies across neighboring counties, the program ensures that artists throughout the region receive the application support needed to access these state-funded fellowships.
The fellowships provide unrestricted funding, allowing artists to use the awards for any purpose that supports their creative endeavors.
Applicant orientations will be offered on April 15 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., and April 23 from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Zoom..
