MFA Students May Apply for CAA’s 2010 Professional-Development Fellowships in the Visual Arts
posted by Michael Fahlund
CAA is accepting applications from MFA students who are CAA members for the recently restored Professional-Development Fellowships in the Visual Arts. Full details, including the application form, are posted to the Fellowships section of the website.
In fall 2010, CAA will award five grants of $5,000 each to outstanding students who will receive their MFA degrees in calendar year 2011. Honorable mentions, given at the discretion of the jury, will receive a free one-year CAA membership and complimentary registration to the Annual Conference.
CAA’s Professional-Development Fellowships in the Visual Arts offer financial assistance to promising MFA candidates. Fellows are honored with grants to help them with various aspects of their work, whether it be for job-search expenses or purchasing materials for the studio. CAA believes a grant of this kind, without contingencies, can best facilitate the transition between graduate studies and professional careers.
Applications must be postmarked by Friday, October 1, 2010.
CAA hopes that Professional-Development Fellowships in Art History can again be awarded to doctoral candidates next year.
