The Artists’ Fellowship provides emergency aid to professional fine artists and their families in times of sickness, natural disaster, bereavement or unexpected extreme hardship.

“Professional” is defined as those visual artists who make their livelihood through sales as reported on a Schedule C with a U.S. Federal tax return. An active exhibition history is also an important part of documenting “professional.”

“Fine Artists” are defined as those who create art for sale through galleries, private commission or reproduction in mass media.  Media such as sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, art photography, mixed media, installations, and video art are considered “Fine Art” as defined above.

“Sickness, natural disaster, bereavement or unexpected extreme hardship” can be documented through paid or unpaid invoices, bills or contracts.

The “need” must be current and documented, not anticipated.

Exceptions:
-Hobbyists, flea market brokers, agents and other creators of art with no record of sales as documented by a Schedule C from a U.S. Federal tax return are NOT eligible.
-Performance artists, dancers, writers, poets, make-up artists and filmmakers are NOT eligible.
