Artists are selected based on the merit of their work, dedication to their professional practice and the potential impact that the fellowship will have on their subsequent creative endeavors. Fellowships may be awarded to artists at any stage of their career development—this year’s Fellows range in age from 32 to 85—and to artists working in a wide range of aesthetics and traditions.
