Joan Mitchell Fellowship
About this opportunity
The Joan Mitchell Fellowship annually recognises 15 US-based artists working in painting and sculpture with $60,000 in unrestricted funds distributed over five years, alongside professional development opportunities including workshops, convenings, and consultations with arts experts. Established in 2021, it replaced the foundation's previous Painters and Sculptors Grants (1994-2020). The foundation also offers residencies at the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans (hosting up to 9 artists at a time in 6- or 14-week sessions) and the Creating a Living Legacy (CALL) programme.
Application tips
This is a nomination-based fellowship with no open application. Build relationships with the contemporary art community and make your work visible to potential nominators. The foundation actively encourages nomination of underrepresented artists.
