Fellowships recognize the contribution artists make to the quality of life in North Carolina. From the beginning of the program, the Council board recognized the importance of artists to the state's artistic and cultural growth. The program was conceived both to recognize outstanding artists for their accomplishments and to help them produce new work by giving them the time and resources to develop their ideas.
The Council believes that artists are worth public investment, just like roads and buildings, universities and public schools, business and natural environments. In addition to fellowships, the Council also supports residency opportunities for writers and visual artists.
We also provide funds to local arts councils to award project grants to artists in their regions.
Music, literature and theater fellowships are offered every other year, alternating with film/video and visual art fellowships. The application deadline is November 1. Guidelines and forms are available from the Council.
