About
Overview
The Joan Mitchell Foundation offers programs to support artists committed to sustaining their creative practices and planning their legacies.
Joan Mitchell Fellowship
The Fellowship annually awards 15 artists working in painting and sculpture with $60,000 each in unrestricted funds, distributed over a five-year period and interwoven with learning, peer engagement, and network-building opportunities. Awards are decided through a nomination and jury process; artists receive an invitation to apply if nominated.
Residencies in New Orleans
At the Joan Mitchell Center, the Foundation offers artists dedicated time and space for the creative process. Each year, past Foundation grant recipients and artists based in New Orleans are invited to apply for 6 or 10 week residencies.
Creating a Living Legacy (CALL)
The CALL initiative encourages artists to honor and preserve a lifetime of work through intentional legacy planning. Artists, family members, and estate executors can access free resource guides on career documentation, inventory management, and estate planning.
