United States Artists is giving $50,000 unrestricted fellowships to these artists working in rural, suburban, urban, and Tribal communities across nineteen states, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
These artists are architects, choreographers, culture bearers, dancers, designers, filmmakers, musicians, sculptors, singers, storytellers, theater makers, and writers, as well as artists working across, between, and outside of those disciplines. They span every career stage, ranging in age from their 20s to their 90s.
But what they have in common is that they are our neighbors. They are a part of their communities: they create, hold, and share the images, movements, and stories that help make us who we are. They help us celebrate, mourn, and understand our world a little more.
