This program is designed to enable artists to set aside time to work to achieve specific career goals, to purchase supplies and materials, to participate in advanced study not related to a degree program, or to pursue other activities that will allow them to meet their artistic goals. The ARAC awards six fellowships which consist of four fellowships of $4,000 each and two fellowships of $2,000 each specifically for emerging artists. Eligible artists may be either primary and secondary creators in the visual, literary, or performing arts.
