The Arts Council for Long Beach recognizes exemplary Long Beach artists for their recent work through the Professional Artist Fellowship awards.
Donor Name: Arts Council for Long Beach
State: California
City: Long Beach
Type of Grant: Fellowship
Deadline: 07/17/2023
Details:
The Professional Artist Fellowship honors a selection of Long Beach’s living artists. These awards recognize exemplary artists for their recent work. Eligible artists must be active Long Beach artists who live, work or actively create in Long Beach and demonstrate an active exhibition and/or production record of at least three (3) years. Awards are granted based on artistic merit and professional achievement. The grant award amount is dependent upon available funds and the number of qualified applicants.
Eligible artistic disciplines include:
- Visual Arts
- Performing Arts
- Audio Arts
- Literary Arts
- Media Arts
- Multidisciplinary or Interdisciplinary Arts
- Folk and Traditional Arts
- Folk and traditional artists are tradition bearers: people who transmit what they believe, know, do and create with others who share a common heritage, language, religion, occupation or region. These expressions are deeply rooted in and reflective of a community’s shared standards of beauty, values or life experiences. Folk and traditional arts are, ultimately, passed on from one generation to the next and express a collective wisdom, rather than a unique personal aesthetic.
Who may apply?
- Eligible applicants are required to meet the following requirements:
- Must be an active Long Beach artist who lives, works or actively creates in Long Beach (requires a physical presence in Long Beach i.e., business license, home or studio proof of residence or consistent paystubs)
- Must receive payment and/or serious, critical recognition for some or all of their artistic services or products
- Ineligible applicants:
- Full-time students – exception: post-grad student with extensive professional experience and/or serious, critical recognition
- Recipients of an Arts Council for Long Beach Professional Artists Fellowship within the last three annual grant cycles
- Active employees, board members or contract employees of Arts Council for Long Beach
- Applicants may only apply for one Arts Council annual grant category, Operating Grant I, Operating Grant II, Community Project Grant or Professional Artist Fellowship.
