Dan Blask, Program Officer
Mass Cultural Council is currently accepting applications for 2019 Artist Fellowships. You can apply now for Fellowships in Crafts, Dramatic Writing, and Sculpture/Installation/New Genres. Deadline: Monday, October 1, 2018.
The Artist Fellowships are anonymously-judged awards to Massachusetts artists. Grant decisions are based solely on the artistic excellence of the creative work submitted. This year, the Fellowships are $15,000. The program also awards $1,000 Finalist awards.
