The Maine Artist Fellowship recognizes artistic excellence in the overall career of a Maine artist. Fellowships are not grants for artist projects; they are merit-based awards that are evaluated by a review panel on the level of artistic creativity and vision shown in the artists’ support materials. One artist will be selected for each discipline, creating a cohort of six Maine Artist Fellows. Maine Artist Fellowships are available in each of the following artistic disciplines:

• Fine Craft
• Literary Arts
• Media Arts
• Performing Arts
• Traditional Arts
• Visual Arts
