Council on the Arts Fellowship Program The PCA supports outstanding Pennsylvania artists by awarding Fellowships on an annual basis. The range of awards to creators of art is generally from $5,000 to $10,000. The PCA also publishes an annual catalog of PCA Fellowship Recipients. Deadline for 2001 Fellowships In the following categories offered in 2002: August 1, 2001 (postmarked) 2002 Fellowships for the following disciplines: Dance - Choreographers Folk Arts - Performing Traditions Interdisciplinary Arts - Other Genres Literature - Poetry Media - Film Music - Composition (in any style except Jazz/Blues) Theatre -Scriptworks (including playwrights and scriptwriters) Visual Arts - Painting, Works on Paper Any individual artist who established residency in Pennsylvania two years prior to the application deadline, and who is not in a degree-granting program in a related field is eligible. If you received a Fellowship, you may not apply for a Fellowship in the following year. Artistic excellence is the primary criteria for selection. However, in the Folk Arts category, your relationship to the community is essential in the evaluation process. All applicants send in a completed application form and program-specific work samples and support materials to one of the PCA Fellowship partners(listed below). DO NOT SEND YOUR APPLICATION TO THE PCA OFFICES IN HARRISBURG. The PCA can answer all inquiries about eligibility and discipline descriptions. All applications are generally reviewed anonymously by out-of-state artists and arts professionals selected for their expertise and diverse sensibilities. Their recommendations are acted on by the Council in December prior to the Fellowship year. All applicants are notified in writing of the final decisions on or about January 15 of the Fellowship year. NOTIFICATION WILL ONLY BE IN WRITING AND WILL NOT BE GIVEN OVER THE PHONE. Checks should be distributed before April of the Fellowship year. The grant period is from January 1 to December 31 of the Fellowship year. To better serve the artists of Pennsylvania, the PCA has established partnerships with several arts organizations to administer the fellowships. Our current partners and their respective categories are: Folk Arts- The Institute for Cultural Partnerships, Harrisburg Sally Van de Water, 717-238-1770 Media - Pittsburgh Filmmakers, Pittsburgh Dorinda Hughes, 412-681-5449 Crafts, Literature, Music, Theatre & Visual Arts - Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, Baltimore, MD Ellen Flacker-Darer, 410-539-6656 x101
