2023 Utah Artist Fellowship Program

The Utah Artist Fellowships are $5,000 unrestricted awards that recognize the careers of Utah artists demonstrating exceptional creativity in their fields. Fellows are selected by nationally renowned arts professionals based on evaluation of work samples from the past five years that are submitted with the application.

Through these fellowships, Utah Arts & Museums seeks to support professional and committed individual artists reaching pivotal moments in their artistic practices, and encourage their career advancement and growth. Applicants are expected to demonstrate why now is the appropriate time in their careers for this one-time award.

Candidates for the Utah Artist Fellowships are selected through an open application process. All eligible applications receive equal consideration through a two-round review process: a prescreen staff review, and a juror review.

The Utah Artist Fellowship is not an award to support a specific art project, recognition of lifetime achievement, or for artists just beginning their careers.

Five fellowships will be awarded in each of these categories:

– Design Arts
– Performing Arts – Music
– Visual Arts
