Fellowship & Residency Watch

Why this is recommended

A $25,000 fellowship, a funded month at a residency or a $2,000 emergency grant are announced on scattered pages with fixed deadlines. One award changes a year; one deadline reminder is worth the membership.

What the Tab covers

Who it is for

Working and emerging creatives who apply for support, and the ones who never knew they could.

When it runs

Arts and writing organizations post calls during the week; applicants write on Sundays

Scope

US-based writers, visual artists, musicians, filmmakers, photographers, designers, journalists and scholars; NEA, NEH, state arts councils, Creative Capital, Guggenheim, MacDowell, Yaddo, Sundance, Tribeca, the Pulitzer Center, Knight, Whiting, Lambda, Cave Canem and Fulbright; funded residencies; prizes of $1,000 or more with fees under $30; emergency and relief funds; funder rule changes; new or closing within 21 days

Suggested task

The objective your Tab starts with. You can edit every line of it once the Tab is yours.

Fellowships, residencies, grants, prizes and emergency funds for writers, visual artists, musicians, filmmakers, photographers, designers, journalists and scholars, with the amount, eligibility, what is provided, the application fee if any and the deadline, plus rule changes at the big funders, with the program first.

Track opportunities for US-based creatives and scholars. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days that are new, newly open, or close within 21 days and have not appeared in this Tab: fellowships and grants from the NEA, NEH, state arts councils, Creative Capital, Guggenheim, MacDowell, Yaddo, Sundance, Tribeca, the Pulitzer Center, Knight, Whiting, Lambda, Cave Canem and Fulbright; residencies with full or partial funding; prizes and contests with awards of $1,000 or more and fees under $30; emergency and relief funds; and rule, fee or eligibility changes at major funders. Prefer funder pages, arts councils and established arts reporting; ignore vanity contests and pay-to-publish schemes. Put the program first in the title with the amount, discipline and deadline. Use high severity for an award of $10,000 or more, a fully funded residency, or a deadline within 7 days. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for eligibility, what is provided, the fee, how to apply, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
