How to apply for financial assistance
The Artists' Fellowship aids professional fine artists, yet it cannot aid every artist who applies, nor does it award scholarship funds or "fellowships" for study, schooling, or travel.

Applications from performance artists, commercial artists, commercial photographers, filmmakers, crafts persons, and hobbyists are not accepted. Although the need is real and often urgent, Artists' Fellowship is not authorized to respond to such requests.

Professional fine artists should submit the following:

• Signed Copy of household’s most current IRS tax return(s).
• Copies of medical expenses (any doctor and/or hospital bills).
• A letter detailing the reasons for the need of financial assistance.
• CD or slides (10) of current work, resume, exhibition brochures, gallery affiliation, etc.
• If material is to be returned, please include self-addresses envelope. 
  
  
  

How applicants are selected for assistance
The Relief and Assistance Committee of the Artists' Fellowship carefully review all applications. It then reports its findings to the President, Treasurer, and Board of Trustees as expeditiously as possible. All information supplied by applicants is kept strictly confidential. Only members of the Board of Trustees and its Officers and Advisers are aware of the circumstances of each request.

Recipients of assistance from the Artists' Fellowship are permitted to reapply for financial assistance if their circumstances are still critical, but only after the term of aid has expired. Any applicants who have been denied assistance may reapply. In either case, all required forms must be updated and resubmitted.

The Application for Financial Assistance form is designed to be printed from your web browser. This is usually performed by clicking on the 'File' menu and selecting the 'Print' option.
