The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) Visual Arts Fellowship is a competitive fellowship program that provides financial assistance to professional artists residing in Virginia. The program is designed to support individual artists and to foster the growth and development of the arts in Virginia.
The fellowship is open to artists working in a variety of visual arts media, including painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, fiber, mixed media, and new media. Applicants must be legal residents of Virginia for at least two years prior to the application deadline, and they must be able to demonstrate a sustained commitment to their art form.
The VMFA Visual Arts Fellowship provides up to $8,000 in financial assistance to support the artists’ work and professional development. Fellows are also invited to participate in an exhibition at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
The application deadline for the VMFA Visual Arts Fellowship is typically in the fall, and specific deadlines can be found on the museum’s website. Interested artists can visit the VMFA website for more information on the fellowship program and the application process.
