2026/27 MCAD–Jerome Foundation Fellowships for Early Career Artists

Application Deadline: Friday, September 11, 2026 | 12:00 PM (CT)

The MCAD–Jerome Foundation Fellowships for Early Career Artists are now accepting applications from Minnesota artists with 2–10 years of creative practice beyond school or college exhibition opportunities.

The fellowship supports artists at a pivotal stage in their careers through professional development, mentorship, and exhibition opportunities. Applicants can access two pre-recorded information sessions and schedule one-on-one meetings for personalized feedback on work samples, artist statements, résumés, and other application materials.

To help ensure equitable participation, mileage and lodging are provided for Greater Minnesota artists attending fellowship meetings, curator studio visits, and exhibition installation.
