Pew Fellowships in the Arts

The Pew Fellowships in the Arts is an organization established by [http://www.pewtrusts.org The Pew Charitable Trusts] in 1991 which awards grants to Philadelphia-area artists. The grants provide artists with an economic freedom that presents the opportunity to focus on their individual practices over a considerable period of time—to explore, to experiment, and to develop his or her work more fully. The program aims to provide such support at moments in an artist’s career when a concentration on artistic growth and exploration is most likely to have the greatest impact on the artist’s long-term professional development. Fellowships are awarded to practitioners in a wide range of media and aesthetic traditions and at critical stages in their career development, from early to mature. [Beginning with the 2008 fellowships, the grant amount has increased from $50,000 to $60,000.] [To date, the Pew Fellowships in the Arts has awarded $10.4 million—208 fellowships have been awarded and 213 artists have been honored with the distinction of receiving the highly competitive fellowships. (Fellowships have been awarded to 3 collaborative teams over the years.]

Up to twelve fellowships are granted annually, to artists applying in one of twelve discipline categories that rotate on a four-year cycle. Applicants are accepted each year for the three discipline categories under consideration. Fellowship selections are made through a two-tier peer review process. Applications are first reviewed by discipline-specific panels, which select finalists to be reviewed by a final interdisciplinary panel. Panelists are artists and arts professionals from outside of the Philadelphia area; chosen for their expertise, they serve for one year.
