McKnight Artist Fellowship Program information session

The McKnight Artist Fellowship Program will hold an information session for all interested Minnesota-based applicants

Tuesday, July 15th at 10:00 am CST

Ely Folk School - 209 E Sheridan St, Ely, MN 55731

This session, led by Program Directors Tracy Krumm (Fiber Artists) and Dana Kassel (Dancers and Choreographers) will speak to the full Artist Fellowship program which supports 15 artistic disciplines, and more specifically to Fiber Artist and Dancer/Choreographer Fellowships. We’ll allow plenty of time for specific questions.

The intent of the McKnight Artist Fellowship programs is to support Minnesota-based artists who are beyond the emerging stage of their career, and who have created a substantial body of work that demonstrates artistic excellence.

RSVPs and questions can be sent to mckfell@thecowlescenter.org

Fiber Artist Fellowships are administered through Textile Center of MN, and Dancer and Choreographer Fellowships are administered through The Cowles Center for Dance. Other Fellowship sites include MN Center for Book Arts, Northern Clay Center, American Composers Forum, Pillsbury House Theatre, Indigenous Roots, Film North, MacPhail Center for Music, The Playwright Center, Highpoint Center for Printmaking, MCAD and The Loft.
