 Philadelphia-Area Artists Invited to Apply for
        Pew Fellowships in the Arts

Deadline: December 

Funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts and administered
by the University of the Arts ( http://uarts.edu/ ),
the Pew Fellowships in the Arts initiative awards
grants of $50,000 to artists working in a wide variety
of performing, visual, and literary disciplines.

The intent of PFA is to award outstanding artists who
live and work in the five-county Philadelphia area (Bucks,
Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties),
who have demonstrated commitment to and professional
accomplishment within their field, and who will continue
their artistic growth within the five-county Philadelphia
area. The fellowships provide artists with economic
freedom so that they have the opportunity to concentrate
on their work over a considerable period of time.

Fellowships may be awarded to artists at any stage of
their career development, from early to mature, and
to artists working in a wide range of aesthetics and
traditions. Up to twelve fellowships are awarded annually.

PFA makes awards to artists working in twelve different
discipline categories, which rotate on a four-year cycle.
Applications are accepted annually for the three disci-
pline categories under consideration in that year. 

See the program's Web site for complete guidelines and
application information.
