The McKnight Fellowships for Visual Artists is a highly competitive fellowship program that identifies talented Minnesota visual artists whose work is of exceptional artistic merit and who are at a career stage that is beyond emerging. Each year, the program supports established artists by providing unrestricted awards of $25,000 that can help an artist set aside time for study, reflection, experimentation, and exploration; take advantage of an opportunity; or work on a new project.
In addition to the cash award, the fellows invite five nationally recognized critics into their studios for in-depth conversations about their work. Two of the critics return to participate in the public panel discussion that pairs one of them with two or three McKnight Visual Artist Fellows.
