The New Jersey State Council on the Arts and Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation Announce the Availability of Year 2010 New Jersey Individual Artist Fellowships Guidelines and Applications

Applicant Workshops to be Offered Statewide and Via Teleconference

Baltimore, MD - June 1, 2009 - Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation announced today the immediate availability of year 2010 New Jersey State Council on the Arts (NJSCA) Individual Artists Fellowship guidelines and applications. The funding categories available for 2010 include: Choreography, Design, Emerging and New Genres in Visual Arts, Media, Music Composition, Painting, and Works on Paper.

All applications must be submitted online. Applicants can go to
http://www.njartscouncil.org
Applicants who do not have access to a computer can visit any County Library in New Jersey for access to the Internet. Visual artists will need to upload work sample images online and submit them with their application. Prospective applicants with specific questions regarding the online application process may contact Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation: 410-539- 6656 x101. Fellowship applications for 2010 categories must be submitted by 11:59 pm on July 15, 2009. The printable Consent Form, signed in blue ink, and work samples, must be postmarked on or before July 17, 2009.

To be eligible, one must be an artist in one of the disciplines offered and a permanent New Jersey resident. Fellowships are awarded solely on the basis of artistic excellence and not other merits that may be associated with a project or other factors.

Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation has administered Fellowship grants for the NJSCA on a contract basis for fourteen consecutive years. This collaboration has proven to be an effective way for the Arts Council to provide Fellowships to individual artists. If any special accommodations are required to file an Arts Council Fellowship application, please call Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation at 410-539-6656 x101.

In June of 2009, the Arts Council will hold three technical assistance workshops throughout the state and one workshop teleconference.
