The
Arts Foundation awards five £10,000 Fellowships annually in five different
art forms. These are chosen by the Trustees and are announced at the Awards
evening for the forthcoming year. From Conducting to Circus Performance and
Sculpture, Animation to Short Story writing and Graphic Design the whole
spectrum of arts is represented including new media, crafts literature and
film.
The Fellowships are not open to application. Within every art form
a network of established, practising artists and other professionals are
selected to nominate one artist they believe should win the award. Awards
are made on the basis of both talent and need to artists living and working
in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and the Channel Islands and are made
to assist the artist with living and working expenses.
Overall criteria includes an ability to demonstrate commitment to, and proven
talent and ability in, one of the selected art forms. Applicants must show
they need the award financially and be living and working in England, Scotland,
Ireland, Wales or the Channel Islands. Once the nominations are received
the applicants are then invited to apply for a Fellowship.
