- Individuals who have participated in an extensive number of solo exhibitions, or who have published a significant number of books will be considered established or late career, and are not eligible for the Eliza Moore Fellowship. They encourage those who are not eligible for this Fellowship to apply to the Interdisciplinary Residency.
