Grant Amounts
Fellowship awards have ranged in the past from $4,000 - $17,500.

Fellowships are awarded to applicants who demonstrate the highest artistic talent, with no cap or quota per artistic discipline. Awards are issued pending the availability of funds.
The Fellowship application review process remains anonymous and unchanged. As always, awards will be decided based solely on artistic excellence as determined by a panel of specialists in a specific discipline.
Program guidelines, a link to the online application, webinar registration links, and other application assistance resources are available on the Mid Atlantic Arts website.
The deadline for 2022 applications is 5:00 PM ET on July 15, 2021.
