Thank you for participating as a nominator for the 2027 Joan Mitchell Fellowship. We are asking you to nominate two candidates for this award; fifteen (15) artists will receive an unrestricted award in the amount of $60,000 each towards their artistic career, interwoven with flexible, dedicated engagement and network-building opportunities over the grant period; including artist convenings, group training in finance, legacy planning and self-advocacy, and consultations with arts professionals. Artists will be in a cohort by year, engaging in group learning with their own and other annual cohorts. Foundation staff will design tailored and relevant programming drawn from the artists’ own interests and suggestions. The depth of an artist’s participation will directly enrich their experience of the Fellowship. Artists are also eligible to apply for a residency at the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans starting in the second to last year of their Fellowship.  

For more information, please review the guidelines and Fellowship background information attachments provided when you received your nomination invitation.

We are looking for your submission of artists that align with the program goals and guidelines as presented. Please do not provide any individual who is of close familial or business relationship. Discovery of such a conflict may affect our ability to move forward with your nomination.
