Artists' Fellowships are awarded in 15 different disciplines over a three year period. The following is a list of eligible discipline categories. Please see the Application & Guidelines to find out which disicplines are eligible in the next round of applications. Architecture/Environmental Structures/Design
This category includes environmental design, the making of places, spaces, constructions, and landscapes, as well as traditional and experimental forms of architecture (built or unbuilt).
Choreography
This category accepts work in all choreographic styles, including
mixed-media or multi-genre performance works in which choreography and/or organized movement is primary.
Digital/Electronic Arts
This category accepts work in which technology is
an essential element of the work's creation, presentation,
or understanding. Examples of appropriate
work include: 2D works created or displayed on
computers or other electronic media; works based
on 3D computer models; sculptural works; interactive
installations including immersive virtual environments;
internet projects; hypertext documents;
other image, text, audio or video works rooted in
technology. Examples of inappropriate work
include: works in which the computer is a vehicle for
reproduction (i.e. scanned and manipulated paintings)
and works in which the computer mimics but
does not expand on a traditional method of production
(i.e. non-linear video editing).
Crafts/Sculpture
This category accepts work in all forms of craft, including ceramics, glass, wood, metal, fiber, textiles and mixed media. This category accepts work in all forms of sculpture, including kinetic works and installations.
Interdisciplinary Work
This category accepts submissions from artists combining
or crossing disciplines, either within a single
piece or throughout a body of work. This work may
draw on traditions from the visual arts, especially
those with a performative, political and/or social
aspect. Examples include, but are not limited to:
participatory installations or environments, live art,
and public art. Theater, dance, or visual art that
employs traditional methods of exploration are not
appropriate for this category. You may not submit
manuscripts. Live performances cannot be attended.
Fiction
This category accepts work in all varieties and genres of prose fiction, including novels, short stories, and experimental forms. Work in graphic or “comic book” fiction is also accepted in this category.
Video/Film
This category accepts work in video or any work in which video or video techniques are pivotal, if not exclusive. This category also accepts work that has been initially shot with a film camera. Filmed material that has been transferred to videocassette or computer for editing and processing is acceptable.
Folk/Traditional Arts
This category accepts work of traditional folk art and creative and cultural expressions of contemporary self-taught artists: work that is traditionally practiced within and among ethnic, regional, occupational, and religious groups as well as other kinds of communities with a common identity, including performing traditions in music, dance, and drama; traditional storytelling and other verbal arts; festivals; traditional crafts, visual arts, architecture, the adornment and transformation of the built environment, and other kinds of material folk culture.
This category does not include work involving choreography, theatricalization, or stylization that significantly alters traditions.
Music/Sound
This category accepts submissions from composers working in any and all styles of music.
Nonfiction Literature
This category accepts work in all varieties and genres of nonfiction prose, including essays, criticism, journalism, autobiography, monographs and experimental forms.
Painting
This category accepts work that involves painting of any kind upon any surface. However, artists who make engravings, etchings, lithographs, prints, serigraphs, woodcuts, and drawings should apply in the Printmaking / Drawing / Artists’ Books category–not Painting.
Photography
This category accepts work in traditional and experimental photography or any work in which photography or photographic techniques are pivotal, if not exclusive.
Playwriting/Screenwriting
This category accepts work in the writing of stageplays, screenplays, teleplays, libretti, radioplays, and audiodramas. While librettists may apply in this category, no audiotapes are accepted in this category. Composers of music theater works are advised to apply separately in the Music Composition category.

Printmaking/Drawing/Book Arts
This category accepts work in visual media other than painting, including artists books, aquatints, collages, engravings, etchings, lithographs, monotypes, prints, serigraphs, woodcuts, and drawings.
