Kentucky writers, it's your year to apply for an Al Smith Individual Artist Fellowship. These are "$7,500 awards given to Kentucky artists who have achieved a high level of excellence and creativity in their work. Applications are accepted annually on a rotating basis by discipline. In even-numbered years, applications are accepted from writers (fiction, nonfiction, play/screenwriting and poetry), choreographers and music composers." In addition, "Emerging Artist Awards are $1,000 awards given to emerging artists who demonstrate a high level of excellence and creativity in their work. For the purposes of this grant, the term 'emerging artist' is defined as a professional artist who is in the early stages of his/her career. Emerging artists possess some professional experience (e.g., exhibitions, sales, contracted/paid performances,'publications/readings, etc.) though they may be graduating seniors in bachelor’s programs, graduate students or non-matriculating, early-stage, professional artists." No application fee indicated. Deadline: March 15, 2010. (via KFW Hot Flash)
