The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowship Program is a vital source of funding for the visual arts and art history in Virginia.

VMFA is committed to supporting Virginia’s professional artists and art students who demonstrate exceptional creative ability in their chosen fields. To this end, VMFA awards fellowships to professional artists, graduate and undergraduate art students, graduate art history students, and college-bound high school seniors.

VMFA is now accepting applications for the following 2016–17 fellowships:

$8,000 Professional
$6,000 Graduate
$4,000 Undergraduate

Professional artists, graduate and undergraduate art students, graduate art history students, and college-bound high school seniors may apply.

Applicants must select the one discipline that most closely corresponds to the work they are submitting. Submissions are not judged within these disciplines, but instead within eligibility categories (professional, graduate, undergraduate) across all disciplines. Artists may apply only once during each Fellowship cycle.
