2010 Pew Fellowships in the Arts Recipients Announced

(10-12-10) The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through Pew Fellowships in the Arts announced last week the names of twelve new Fellows, each of whom will receive a $60,000 award. These "no strings attached" fellowships are provided over one-two years to artists in the five-county Philadelphia area. Artists working in a wide range of aesthetics and traditions are selected based on the merit of their work, dedication to their professional practice, and the potential impact of the fellowship on their subsequent creative endeavors.

2010 marks the first cycle of Pew Fellows chosen through a new multi-level review process, through which artists were nominated and invited to apply to the program. In addition, for the first time, artists working in any discipline(s) could be considered in the same year. This process resulted in a highly diverse group of new Fellows, some of whom would have not been able to apply comfortably under the old guidelines.
