Applications opened in October for the FY26 cycle, which will award artists in these disciplines:

  • Visual art.
  • Craft.
  • Design arts (architecture, fashion, graphic, industrial, or interior).
  • Media production.
  • Public art (ephemeral or permanent).

A diverse group of panelists from each discipline is selected to judge applicants. Awards are not made solely on artistic merit; consideration is also given to work samples, achievements, and commitment to the discipline in which artists apply. (Artists may apply in multiple categories with separate applications.)

Meet the current SCAC Fellows, announced over the summer: Evelyn Berry, Robbie Robertson, Eric Schultz and Andy Brooks.

A coaching call for potential applicants is to be held via Zoom on Thursday, Oct. 24, 2024 at 3 p.m. Can’t make it? A recording of the session will be posted to the guidelines and the SCAC YouTube Channel.
