Each institution may nominate two candidates. Nominees should be graduating in the spring semester that directly follows the fall nominating cycle. Nominees need not be U.S. citizens.
Once nominations are submitted to the Foundation, nominees will receive application guidelines from us via e-mail. Nominees are asked to submit JPGs of eight work samples with a descriptive list of the works, and a biographical statement. A committee of distinguished artists, curators and critics determines the winners of the fellowships.
