APPLY VIA LINK: https://www.fabnyc.org/les-young-artists-of-color/ - FAB’s LES Young Artists of Color Fellowship supports early career artists interested in building a peer network of mutual support, meeting with experienced artists and producers of color to help shape strategies for furthering their work in the field, and participating in a culminating public showcase of original work. We developed the Fellowship particularly to support POC artists who live in the Lower East Side, although we accept applications for any young artist who is a NYC resident. Eligibility To be eligible, you must be an artist of color between the ages of 18 and 26. You must also be a permanent New York City resident. Priority considerations are given to Lower East Side residents and NYCHA tenants. Who are we looking for? We are accepting 8 fellows for our 2025 cohort. The program supports artists creating original work. Artists from all disciplines may apply. Each Fellow will: – receive a $500 stipend – participate in weekly meetings with the full fellowship from February thru April 2025 – meet and hear from established arts professionals of color – share artistic works-in-progress and career challenges – identify topics of interest for workshops such as fundraising, marketing, and portfolio development – present work through a culminating exhibit / performance on Saturday April 26
