Fellowship at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts
For the last forty years, the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown has
run the largest and longest residency Fellowship in the United States
for emerging visual artists and writers. Artists who have not had
significant recognition for their work and writers who have not yet
published a full-length book of creative work are welcome to apply.
Fellows receive a seven-month stay (October 1 -April 30) at the Work
Center and a $750 monthly stipend. Fellows do not pay or work in
exchange for their Fellowships in any way. Fellows are chosen based on
the excellence of their work.
Former visual arts Fellows include Ellen
Gallagher, Jack Pierson, Lisa Yuskavage, Angela Dufresne, Geoffrey
Chadsey, and Lamar Peterson. Former writing Fellows--nearly all of whom
came here before the publication of their first books--have won every
major national award in writing including the National Book Award and
seven Pulitzer Prizes. Former writing Fellows include Denis Johnson,
Louise Glück, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Yusef Komunyakaa.
The postmark deadline for the 2013-14 Writing Fellowships is December 1, 2012.
