Endowed Fellowships and Named Spaces
|
The Fine Arts Work Center’s Fellowship Program for emerging artists and writers remains one of the only programs of its type in the nation. Ten visual artists and ten writers are selected through a rigorous jurying process. These twenty Fellows are provided with apartments, studios and monthly stipends, which are currently $650. Nothing is asked in return except that each Fellow pursues his or her own work.
By design, the program generates no revenue; rather its single purpose is to provide the time and space to allow emerging artists and writers to focus on their work.
To successfully run the program, it costs nearly $20,000 per Fellow, or $400,000 per year. While we work hard to raise funds through individual gifts, benefits, and foundation and corporate support, no program such as this can survive without a secure endowment. Our endowment is professionally managed, using a sound mix of securities, equities and bonds.
To learn more about endowment giving, planned giving, charitable remainder trusts or other tools to fund Work Center programs, please contact Executive Director Margaret Murphy. |

"[The] David Shainberg Endowed Fellowship provided me what is most important and necessary for my artistic career at this stage...solitude... support and freedom by this fellowship have given me a great deal of encouragement and hope to pursue my work.... Thank you again for making this incredible opportunity possible.You can participate by joining those who have endowed individual fellowships or named spaces at FAWC."
"I am writing to thank you and the ... Foundation for funding my Fellowship at the Fine Arts Work Center this winter. Prior to coming to Provincetown, I had been working full-time as a secretary, which left little time for me to full-out pursue my career in poetry...."
"The value of this Fellowship to me cannot be measured ..... I felt free to write things without the pressure to finish them quickly....
Thank you for your continued interest in the Work Center, for your generous contribution, and for your commitment to emerging writers and artists."
