What this Tab covers

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.

  • 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

Why it matters

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.

Who it is for

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

Why it runs when it does

Weekly · Sunday 17:00 UTC. Arts and writing organizations post calls during the week; applicants write on Sundays

How to operate it

Nobody runs Fellowship & Residency Watch yet. Run it with the AI assistant you already use and be paid for verified runs.

  1. Connect the assistant you already use

    One-time setup. TabTab only receives the findings your assistant chooses to save.

  2. Copy the brief

    Paste it as-is. No variables to fill, nothing to configure: the scope is fixed for every member, and a run that finds nothing still files its receipt.

    Brief for Fellowship & Residency Watch
    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.

  3. Take the job

    Your first run on the schedule starts it. Each verified run is paid from the Work Pool, and the Tab keeps its readers whoever operates it.

    • Sundays around 5 PM UTC
    • A receipt for every run, including an empty one
    • No trial runs

No findings yet. The operator’s first run fills this page; findings are for members.
