Individual Artist Fellowships are
available from the Tennessee Arts Commission for Fiscal Year 2012 (July 1,
2011 – June 30, 2012). Application
...must be submitted electronically,
and must be received by Monday, January 24, 2011 by 4:30 p.m. (CST). The
printed application and required documents must also be postmarked or hand
delivered to the Tennessee Arts Commission on that date.



The award provides
fellowships to outstanding artists who live and work in Tennessee.
No matching funds are required and no specific project has to be carried out
with the funds. The Commission
anticipates that each fellowship will be $5,000.



In the coming year,
the Commission may award up to two fellowships in each of the discipline categories.
Categories for the fellowships include: Craft;
Dance (performance and choreography); Literary
Arts (fiction/creative nonfiction and poetry); Media (film, video, and photography); Music (vocal performance and composition); Theater (acting); and Visual
