McKnight Community-Engaged Artist & Culture Bearer Fellowships

The McKnight Artist & Culture Bearer Fellowships Program provides annual fellowship awards to two (2) outstanding mid-career Community-Engaged artists. This Fellowship program is administered by the Pillsbury House + Theatre in partnership with the McKnight Foundation.

This fellowship is limited to Community-Engaged Artists who are at a stage beyond emerging.  Community-Engaged Artists, as defined for the purposes of this fellowship, are artists who use their artistic practice to engage relationship aimed at producing social or cultural transformation. And this intention drives choice and process throughout the conception, design, stewardship, and implementation of their work. 

The Pillsbury House Theatre-administered fellowship program uses an independent jury of arts specialists to competitively award two (2) fellowships. The fellowship runs for one year, and includes: 

Fellows Receive:

·         A $25,000 award
