Awardee Responsibilities

• Create new creative work(s) during the 10-week fellowship period.

• Within the first 1 week of your fellowship period, contact your assigned mentor and confirm an agreed-to schedule for your 3 required meeting sessions. Again, awardees must record the dates and times of their scheduled mentor meetings in their Progress Journal using the form provided.

• Meet with an assigned mentor 4 times within the 10-week fellowship period to get feedback and advice on the development of your project(s). Each meeting should occur after you’ve made new progress in your creative project(s).

• This will be followed by Q & A with awardees.

• Exhibit/perform your works at the closing exhibition.

• Participate in one of the community outreach events.
