Money for Artists: OVAC Fellowships

Each year, OVAC offers the Visual Arts Fellowships - two awards of $5,000 each for Oklahoma artists. The call for entries for the 2009 Fellowship is out now! New this year, we're also offering two Student Awards of Excellence at $500 each.

These awards are based on past achievement and future promise and the money can be used as the artist needs.

If you are an Oklahoma artist, you should apply for these awards EVERY YEAR! Besides getting a chance at a significant award, it also serves as your annual reminder to update your resume, revisit your artist statement and freshen up your art images. And, if you're an OVAC member, it's free to apply. The deadline is May 1.

Here's what you need:
-Resume
-Artist Statement

That's it! The full call for entries is available here.
