I am writing in hopes
that you will forward the information below, regarding
the writing and
visual arts Fellowships at the Fine Arts Work Center in
Provincetown to any
visual artists or writers associated with your agency.
The Fellowships are
a unique and wonderful opportunity for emerging
artists and writers to
spend seven months working at our Cape Cod facility.
We'd be grateful for your
help in passing on word of these opportunities for
artists and writers in
your state.
If you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,

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.
The deadline for the 2013-14 Visual Arts Fellowships is February
1, 2013.
