Eligibility Criteria
The Neighborhood Arts Connection Fellowship: Near East Side program is for individuals across disciplines who meet the following criteria:

- Are professional, working artists (age 18 and older);
- Definition: individuals who devote a significant portion of their time to the creation of personal artwork. The professional artist is likely paid for performances, sells their artwork, or shares their independent body of work with the public on a regular basis. Individuals working in a creative industry primarily producing commercial work are not eligible. Artists should be focused on realizing their own creative or aesthetic ideas, rather than on documentation or journalism. The term “artist” applies broadly across disciplines, including performing, visual, literary, film, fashion, and multi-disciplinary artists.
- Are NOT enrolled as degree-seeking undergraduate students.
