$10,000 VISUAL ARTS FELLOWSHIP
DEADLINE: MONDAY, FEB 3, 2014
Fellows: Jared Clark, Al Denyer, Chris Gauthier
TOP 5 REASONS TO APPLY FOR THE FELLOWSHIP
1. Artistic Freedom: Funding means you have the freedom to pursue new artistic projects you may not have had the opportunity to otherwise. Did we mention its $10,000?
2. National & Local Recognition: Artists build their careers through consistent recognition. Museums, galleries, foundations, collectors and arts professionals look for artists with regional and national acclaim when reviewing your background. Also, many of our fellowship recipients go on to gain more national attention. When Utah artists are acknowledged nationally, our state becomes recognized as a place where artists live, thrive, work and succeed, which benefits local support for the arts. “A rising tide lifts all boats.”
3. Even More Visibility: Having a nationally recognized juror review your work exposes you and your work to a professional in the arts community outside the local scene (even if you don’t win). That juror is now familiar with your practice which could lead to future opportunities such as having your work curated into a show, purchased, or referred to other arts professionals.
4. You’re a Star: We produce a snazzy video of you in partnership with 15 Bytes that you can use for promotional purposes!
5. It's Good Practice to Apply: Eventually you'll have to update your resume, photograph your work, and write an artist’s statement. Might as well do it now.
What Past Fellows Are Saying
"The Utah Arts & Museums Fellowship has had a direct impact on my subsequent accomplishments.This includes my ability to successfully compete for residencies, exhibitions, additional grants and fellowships, as well as teaching positions."
-Alice Leora Briggs, 1994
"It's the only individual artist award in the state/city/county that is substantial enough to make a significant difference to an artist and their work. I appreciate that the jurors selected are from out of state, as I feel Utah artists benefit greatly from national exposure and need it to succeed professionally."
-Amy Caron, 2007
"When significant funds are allocated up front before the artwork is produced, the quality improves immensely. I felt at ease experimenting, things felt personal while taking things in different directions."
-Steven Larson, 2004
"Certain opportunities were presented to me by institutions as a result of their seeking out Fellowship Recipients through contact with Utah Arts & Museums. O
ne juror granted me a portfolio viewing at the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery as a result of my winning."
-Michael Plyler, 1993

RECENT ACQUISITIONS
The Collection Acquisitions Committee recently selected Adam Bateman's work, Glen Canyon, for purchase and inclusion into the State Fine Art Collection. Bateman is a 2008 recipient of the Utah Arts & Museums Visual Arts Fellowship and the prestigious 2013 Joan Mitchell Fellowship.
Utah’s state-owned art collection began in 1899, and continues to acquire artwork by Utah artists through purchases dictated by the Collection Acquisition Committee, and through generous donations from patrons and artists. Over the next several months we'll be highlighting the work of other Utah artists recently acquired into the collection.
