Description
The Nevada Arts Council’s Artist Fellowship Award recognizes artists at pivotal moments in their practice for outstanding accomplishments across a body of work. It is an award to the artist, not funding for a prescribed project or set of expenses. The program also seeks to build public awareness and appreciation of artists’ roles in society.
The fellowship rotates among visual, literary, and performing arts on a three-year cycle. The FY27 focus is visual arts, with categories for two-dimensional work and for three-dimensional work and new genres. Reviewers consider the clarity of the artist’s intent and process, the consistent caliber of the work, and its impact or contribution within a community or art genre.
