South Carolina’s individual artists working in visual arts or crafts, who wish to receive an award of $5,000, can apply for the 2009-2010 Fellowships. The deadline to enter the Fellowship sweepstakes or to apply for this award is Oct. 1, 2008. Applications can be found at the South Carolina Arts Commission’s website at (www.southcarolinaarts.com) – look under the heading “For Artists”.
The application may seem like a lot of trouble to go through, but it’s cheaper than buying lottery tickets and the odds are better – especially in the crafts category. But, you can’t win if you don’t fill out an application and send it in by deadline.
