Fellowship Program Jurors Needed
Visual-Art Jury
CAA seeks four jurors for the visual-art jury of the Professional Development Fellowship Program. The jury awards grants of $15,000 to qualified MFA students in their final year of school.
The main purpose of the CAA Professional Development Fellowship Program is to support outstanding graduate students from diverse backgrounds who may have been underrepresented in their fields. By offering financial assistance to promising MFA and PhD students, CAA can assist the rising generation during this important transitional period in their lives.
The jury reviews applications before convening in New York in late fall of each year to discuss the merits of each application and to select the awardee(s). To stagger the length of service at the start, two jurors serve a two-year term (July 1, 2008–June 30, 2010) and two serve for three years (July 1, 2008–June 30, 2011).
Candidates must be CAA members and practicing artists who have made significant contributions to their field. Nominators should ascertain their nominee’s willingness to serve before submitting a name; self-nominations are also welcome. Please send a letter describing your interest in and qualifications for appointment, a CV or résumé, and contact information to: Visual-Art Jury, CAA Professional Development Fellowship Program, CAA, 275 Seventh Avenue, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10001.
Deadline: June 15, 2008.
