Pew Fellowships in the Arts
Pew Fellowships in the Arts (PFA) was established by The Pew Charitable Trusts in 1991, and annually awards up to 12 fellowships of $60,000 to artists of exemplary talent in the five-county Philadelphia area. The goal of PFA is to assist the region’s most talented artists in furthering and innovating their work by awarding substantial financial support accompanied by a set of customized, focused professional- and career-development resources. Through such support, PFA aims to elevate the quality and raise the profile of individual artistic work in the region, create a strong community of Pew Fellows, and help them achieve their artistic and career goals by connecting them to additional resources in the region and in the field. The program aims to support artists who are poised to take full advantage of what the fellowship has to offer to significantly impact and advance their work. Fellowships may be awarded to artists at any stage of their career development and to artists working in a wide range of aesthetics and traditions.
