This Fellowship supports artists who embrace their roles as part of a larger community of artists and citizens, and consciously work with a sense of service, whether aesthetic, social or both. Support is directed to artists who are at an early point in their careers in creating such work, generally in their 2nd–10th year as a generative artist.
Artists apply to be reviewed by a panel in one of these artistic fields:
- Dance
- Film, Video and Digital Production (animation, documentary, experimental, and narrative)
- Literature (creative non-fiction, fiction, poetry)
- Music
- Theater/Performance/Spoken Word
- Visual Arts
- Technology Centered Arts (new this application cycle)
- Combined Artistic Fields (new this application cycle)
Funding Information
Fellows receive $50,000 over two consecutive years ($25,000 each year) to support their time and expenses for the creation of new work, artistic development and/or professional artistic career development.
Eligibility Criteria
- Residents of either Minnesota or the 5 boroughs of New York City who have been residents for at least one year at time of application
- Generative artists who are currently creating new original work
- Generative artists conceive and create new original work (e.g., choreographers, composers, playwrights and devisers, filmmakers, poets, writers of fiction or creative nonfiction, visual artists, etc.). Jerome does not fund artists who have solely performed or developed/produced the work of others (e.g., dancers, musicians, actors, editors, designers, journalists, etc.). A field-specific list of roles is available starting on page 13. Artists have demonstrated the ability to conceive and create new original work and their primary future career goals are to continue as generative artists.
- New original work has been created and developed by the artist from concept to completion and is not a remount, revival, or interpretation of previously existing material.
- Early career artists with at least 2 years but not more than 10 years of professional generative artistic practice
- Early career: In general, early career artists are typically in their 2nd to 10th year of generative creative practice, excluding any time spent in a degree-granting program (if applicable). Individuals who are at the very beginning of their careers and who do not have the required completed and presented works are not eligible to apply.
- Generative artists who have two or more completed and presented works (outside of work created in a degree-granting program). These works must have been produced or presented/published/exhibited/screened by an independent organization or producer (not self-presented).
- Not enrolled as a full-time student in a degree-granting education program at the time of application or during the fellowship period.
- Artists who have completed all but their dissertation for a PhD program, who are generating new work(s) and who meet all other eligibility criteria should contact Jerome staff to discuss eligibility.
- Not a tenured faculty member (or the equivalent)
- Not an applicant on more than one application
- Not previously a recipient of a Jerome Hill Artist Fellowship
- Artists who have received significant awards and prizes for multiple projects/works in any field may also be considered too established or recognized to be considered early career and qualify for support in this Fellowship
