2027 NAC Artist Fellowship

The National Arts Club (NAC) is a non-profit organization with the mission to stimulate, foster, and promote public interest in the arts and to educate the American people in the fine arts. The Club is situated in Gramercy Park in New York City. The NAC Artist Fellowship program, established in 2019, provides a select number of established young professional artists with one year of full membership to the historic club, with the goal of furthering their careers. The chosen Artist Fellows can be working in any one (or more) of the disciplines reflected in the NAC’s arts committees, adhering to the Club’s core values of championing all facets of the evolving American artistic landscape: archeology, architecture, art and technology, culinary arts, dance, decorative arts, fashion, film, fine arts, literature, music, photography, and theater. Artist Fellows will be provided with complimentary Club membership, providing access to the historic clubhouse, public programs and discounted private overnight rooms. The Artist Fellowship provides opportunities for the recipient to be featured in Club programming and presentations. Artist Fellows are selected by a rotating jury comprised of arts specialists, NAC Board members, and previous Artist Fellows. To be considered for a National Arts Club Artist Fellowship, applications must be received by October 30, 2026. NAC Fellowship recipients will be informed of their selection in late November, with the Fellowship starting in January, 2027.
