The Artist Trust/Washington State Arts Commission Fellowship awards $7,500 to practicing professional artists of exceptional talent and demonstrated ability. The Fellowship is a merit-based, not a project-based award. Fellowship recipients must present a Meet the Artist Event to a community that has little or no access to the artist and their work.

Artist Trust/Washington State Arts Commission Fellowships are awarded in two-year cycles: Music, Media, Literature and Crafts disciplines are awarded in odd-numbered years (2009). Emerging Fields & Cross-Disciplinary, Performing, Visual and Traditional & Folk Arts Fellowships are awarded in even-numbered years (2010). A selection panel of three artists and arts professionals in each discipline select the Fellowship recipients.

Eligibility
Applicants must be a practicing artist, 18 years of age or older by application deadline date, a generative artist, and a resident of Washington State at the time of application and when the award is granted. Applicants may NOT be a graduate or undergraduate matriculated student enrolled in any degree program.

Only one application will be accepted per artist. Applicants should apply to the category that best describes their work.

DEADLINE
All applicants must submit an online application by 5pm on Friday, June 12, 2009. Mailed work samples must have a US POSTAL SERVICE POSTMARK on or before Friday, June 12, 2009. Hand-delivered work samples must be delivered by 5pm on Friday, June 12, 2009 to Artist Trust's office.
