The Anderson Center\u2019s Jerome Emerging Artist Residency<\/span> serves emerging artists from Minnesota or New York City while welcoming them into a supportive and inspiring environment that empowers them to take risks, embrace challenges, and utilize unconventional approaches to problem-solving. Each artist receives a stipend of $625\/week and a travel honorarium along with other resources for August residencies ranging from two weeks to one month.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span> NYFA Artist Fellowship is a 36 year-old program supported by the New York State Council on the Arts. Under the fellowship, each artist receives an unrestricted cash grant of $7000.<\/span><\/p>\n
