CRWROPPS Post: for writers in Illinois



REMINDER: IACA ARTIST FELLOWSHIP APPLICATION DEADLINE IS NOVEMBER 7
Illinois Arts Council Agency (IACA) Artists Fellowship Program applications are now open in the IACA's electronic Salesforce system and have a deadline of November 7, 2022 at 11:59pm.
 
Artist Fellowship Program
The Artist Fellowship Program's intent is to enrich and strengthen the state of Illinois by supporting accomplished Illinois artists who are the foundation of Illinois' creative environment. The Artist Fellowship Program recognizes exceptional artists who have created a substantial body of work throughout their career by providing awards to support continued artistic growth.

This is not a project-specific grant. The AFA is meant for artists whose work is of exceptional artistic merit and who are at a career stage beyond emerging.

The IACA will provide a limited number of $15,000 awards across the following discipline categories:

  • Literature (includes sub-categories of poetry, prose, and scriptworks)
  • Media Arts (category includes audio art, digital art, film, and video)
  • Music (includes sub-categories of music composition and music improvisation)
  • Performance-Based Arts (includes sub-categories of choreography and new performance forms)
 
A limited number of $1,500 Finalist Awards will also be given.

Opportunities will be available to connect with IACA staff for questions:
                                                                                                                           

  • Friday, October 28, 2022 at 1:00pm

A previously recorded webinar from earlier this month is also available on the IACA's Workshops and Webinars page.
