MCAD/Jerome Foundation
Fellowships for Emerging Artists
Administered by the Minneapolis College of Art and Design
The 2009-2010 Jerome Fellowship recipients have been announced!
The MCAD/Jerome Foundation Fellowships for Emerging Artists program was established in 1981 with the purpose of identifying and rewarding emerging visual artists across Minnesota who have not yet attained professional acknowledgement commensurate with the quality of their work.
Administered by the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, the Fellowship program awards $10,000 annually to four Fellows, allowing each the freedom to pursue his or her own work over a 12-month period. Awards are often used for studio space, materials, travel or research, or simply to provide free, focused time to formulate ideas and make art.
At the end of each Fellowship year, the artists have a group exhibition in MCAD Gallery. This exhibition takes place in the fall, with an accompanying catalog featuring each Fellow and his or her work.
The Jerome Foundation, a Minnesota-based private philanthropic organization, generously supports this Fellowship program. For a list of past recipients, please click here.
