Welcome.
The mnartists.org/McKnight Artist Fellowships for Photographers supports mid-career artists residing in Minnesota who use photography as a primary means of creative, personal expression. The $25,000 fellowships awarded in June of each calendar year enable four artists to study, reflect, experiment, and explore over a twelve-month period with the support and assistance from mnartists.org, The Walker Art Center and the McKnight Foundation. Panel decisions are based primarily on the presence and promise of excellence in work samples and totality of professional accomplishments. A plan of activities for the fellowship year will also be reviewed, along with resumè (to determine career status).
Work created during the fellowship year will be featured in a public exhibition along with a catalog. Fellows will also participate in a public presentation about their new work, an exhibit publication, a web portfolio, as well as opportunities to work with mnartists.org's educational and outreach programming. Fellows will have additional opportunities to consult with review panelists, local curators and local and national artists about their practice during the fellowship year.
