APPLY NOW! 2024 KRESGE ARTIST FELLOWSHIPS IN LIVE ARTS AND FILM & MUSIC

Now through January 18, 2024, metro Detroit artists are invited to apply for a Kresge Artist Fellowship.

In 2024, Kresge Artist Fellowships will increase from $25,000 to $40,000 and the number of awards fellowships will increase from 20 to 25. Artists residing in Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb county can apply online for the no strings attached prize.

The 25 Kresge Artist Fellows and 10 Gilda Award recipients will be selected by an independent panel of distinguished local and national artists and arts professionals. Previous applicants are strongly encouraged to re-apply, as new panels—with fresh perspectives—are convened each year. Artists working in the following disciplines are invited to apply for the 2024 award:

Kresge Artist Fellow Michelle May (2018) says, “the most impactful part of applying for me was being able to articulate not only what I do as a musician and composer, but why I do it and why I think what I do is important. It really helped me be much more introspective about my place in the world, which in turn expanded my art practice.”

Artists are encouraged to review the 2024 Guidelines for information regarding application recommendations, requirements, and support resources.

Kresge Arts in Detroit staff will hold an online application info session and walkthrough in December, followed by a second online Q&A session in January. While not required, applicants are encouraged to attend these sessions, which are designed to support artists in creating compelling applications for a Kresge Artist Fellowship.
