McKnight Fellowships for Fiber Artists

Fiber art is thriving in Minnesota, and the field’s growth as a creative discipline is generously supported by the McKnight Foundation’s McKnight Fellowships for Fiber Artists, as part of McKnight’s Arts & Culture Program.
This program provides two $25,000 unrestricted fellowships to be awarded each year to individual fiber artists – at ANY stage of midcareer and beyond – living and working in Minnesota. These are not project grants, but unrestricted fellowships awarded to artists who have a creative practice that is clearly beyond emerging .

In addition to the $25,000 unrestricted award in support of their creative work and practice, McKnight Fiber Artist Fellows are offered:

Critiques/studio visits with experts and mentors from the creative field.

Exhibition at the end of the fellowship period in the Galleries at Textile Center.

A public presentation that features fellows and their work.

Professional development support- $1,500, for attending conferences, workshops, marketing, or exhibition assistance during the fellowship period.

Professional photography of artwork installation at Textile Center.

Presence on Textile Center’s website, to include a portfolio of images, narrative about your work, and a virtual exhibition to accompany the physical exhibition at Textile Center.

Textile Center membership for 2 years, with access to Textile Center’s resources, including library, dye lab, and artisan shop opportunities.

Professional support sessions from consultants at Springboard for the Arts.
