About the NC Arts Council Artist Fellowship
The North Carolina Arts Council awards artist fellowships in the categories of visual art, craft, film/video, choreography, prose writing, poetry, playwriting/screenwriting, musical composition, and songwriting, alternating disciplines on a two-year cycle. Artists receive a $10,000 fellowship to support creative development and the creation of new work. Recipients are selected by panels comprised of artists and arts professionals with expertise in each discipline.
