Description edit
In 1968, a group of eminent artists and writers, recognizing the need to support talented individuals at the outset of their careers, established the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown. Since that time the Center, whose founders include Robert Motherwell, Myron Stout, Jack Tworkov, Alan Dugan, and Stanley Kunitz, has provided housing and stipends to over 500 emerging artists from the United States and abroad.
The Center is unique in its focus on the crucial early years of an artistic career, offering Fellows an opportunity for investigation and growth in their chosen field. Each year eight writers and eight visual artists are offered seven-month residencies, including living and working space and a monthly stipend for expenses. In addition, two former Fellows from each group may be asked to return for a second and final year.
Reviewed by a jury of professionals, selection is based solely on the quality of work and the 'emerging artists' criteria. Past jurors include Luis Cruz Azaceta, Louise Bourgeois and Martin Puryear for visual arts and Michael Harper, Mark Strand and Grace Paley for writing.
