Individual Artist Fellowships (IAF)
Tennessee Arts Commission
Nashville, TN
Fiscal Year 2013


DESCRIPTION
This award provides fellowships to outstanding professional artists who live and work in Tennessee. No matching funds are required and no specific project has to be carried out with the funds. The Commission anticipates that each fellowship in FY 2013 will be $5,000. In the coming year, the Tennessee Arts Commission may award up to two (2) fellowships each in Craft, Design, Media, Visual Art, Dance, Music, and Theater, as well as three (3) in the Literary category.

ELIGIBILITY
Fellowship applicants must be at least 18 years of age and be legal residents of Tennessee at the time of application with a Tennessee mailing address.

Individuals may apply in only one fellowship category each fiscal year. Those artists who have received full or partial (“Honorable Mention”) fellowships in the past may not reapply for a fellowship.

This award is designed to recognize professional artists, i.e. those individuals who either by education, experience, or natural talent engage in a particular art form or discipline. To qualify, an artist must be financially compensated for his or her work, and this compensation must be a significant source of support for their livelihood.
