The Artist Fellowship Program (AFP) offers awards to individual artists who make a significant contribution to the arts and substantively impact the lives of District of Columbia residents through their artistic excellence.
The Artist Fellowship Program (AFP)offers up to $10,000 fellowships to individual artists whose artistic excellence
significantly contributes to the District of Columbia as a world class cultural capital. AFP recognizes the impact of individual artists within the District of Columbia and supports the vitality that those artists bring to the local
community. AFP is not a project-based grant and applicants are not required to complete a particular project as part of the fellowship. Funds may be used for any type of expenses. AFP is open to all artistic disciplines in FY2015. Artistic disciplines may include, but are not limited to, dance, design, folk and traditional arts, literature, media arts, music, theater, and visual arts, as well as other emerging and experimental fields and multi-disciplinary media.
