Fellowship Opportunity: 2010 Robert D. Beckmann, Jr. Emerging Artist Fellowship

The Robert D. Beckmann, Jr. Emerging Artist Fellowship Program awards two $3,500 fellowships each year to qualified and talented artists in music, dance, theatre, literature, or the visual arts.

The program consists of two distinct components. The first component, a monetary award in the amount of $3,500, will be awarded for supplies, instruction, workshops, studio or rehearsal space, or other uses specifically related to the growth and development of the fellow's artistic work. The second component of the program involves a unique professional experience opportunity to which many artists may not have access until later in their careers.

The Robert D. Beckmann, Jr. Emerging Artist Fellowship program seeks to introduce and provide experiences, connections, and relationships with professional arts institutions and professional artists in central Indiana.
