Logo for Division of the Arts 2009 INDIVIDUAL ARTIST FELLOWSHIP RECIPIENTS

Ten Delaware artists were awarded Individual Artist Fellowships by the Delaware Division of the Arts in 2008. These artists have demonstrated excellence in their work and have been adjudicated by out-of-state experts in their artistic disciplines. Fellowships were awarded in three categories: masters ($10,000), established ($6,000), and emerging ($3,000).

The purpose of a fellowship is to provide artists the resources and time to further develop their talents and advance their careers. The fellowship year also provides an opportunity for an exhibit, performance, reading, or other public presentation by each recipient.
