THE McKnight Fellowships for Visual Artists is a highly competitive fellowship program that identifies talented Minnesota visual artists whose work is of exceptional artistic merit and who are at a career stage that is beyond emergence. Each year, the program supports established artists by offering unlimited prizes of $25,000 that can help an artist set aside time for study, reflection, experimentation and exploration. take advantage of an opportunity; or work on a new project.
