The Ford Family Foundation announce the call for applications for the 2016 Hallie Ford Fellowships will open Wednesday, January 27.  The Foundation will award up to five $25,000 unrestricted fellowships to established Oregon visual artists.
Each year the Foundation assembles a new jury of five arts professionals from in and outside of Oregon who represent a wide range of expertise in the practice and/or curation of fine art and craft and have experience in fellowship selection processes.  Because they are newly appointed, they may elect to select artists from disciplines other than in previous years.  Therefore, artists who have applied but not been selected in past years are encouraged to re-apply.  There is no fee and the application remains predominantly the same as in past years.
Application Opening:  Wednesday, January 27, 8am Mountain Time Zone Application Closing:  Wednesday, March 9, 10:59pm. Mountain Time ZoApplications will only be accepted by artists who apply through the CaFE system and meet the eligibility requirements as noted on the application.  Artists who have not previously established a profile on the CaFE system must register before applying.  Late applications cannot be accepted and incomplete applications cannot be reviewed.  Questions regarding eligibility may be emailed to visualartsprogram@tfff.org<mailto:visualartsprogram@tfff.org>  Applicants may also find more information about the Fellowships and the Visual Arts Program on the Foundation’s website:  Error!
