Supporters of Artists' Fellowships may choose which Fellow is supported by their contribution by viewing work by the Fellows pre-selected by the peer panels. Fellowships may be named or unnamed, depending on the preference of the supporter.
Please note that there is no separate application for these fellowships. Recipients are drawn from those nominated by the panels to receive fellowship support.
The Shelly Pinz Fellowship will support one Fellowship in Poetry in 2011. Shelly Pinz (1944-2004) was a New York songwriter, poet and psychotherapist and is best known for co-writing the Lemon Pipers' 1968 hit “Green Tambourine” as well as her volume of poetry and lyrics titled “Courage to Think.”
The Shelly Pinz Fellowship was developed in Ms. Pinz’s memory to support the careers of poets and composers. The announcement of the Shelly Pinz Fellowship in Poetry will take place at a poetry club, hosted by NYFA, where a reading of selections from “Courage to Think” will occur.
