Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center announces the 2009 Fellowship Application

May 22, 2008

Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center announces the 2009 Fellowship Application. You will find a link below to the current application form for the residency programs of the Creative Glass Center of America at WheatonArts.

The program is outstanding and unparalleled, providing 305 Fellowships over the last 25 years. Anyone who has been through the program in the last few years is aware of the dedication and continual strides in progress that WheatonArts and the Creative Glass Center of America have made. This is such a special opportunity for artists and their creative development that I implore you to apply.

Artists have the use of private studios and excellent facilities within a respectful sanctuary of concentrated time. This is an exceptional opportunity for artists to utilize one of the finest facilities of the glass medium, known internationally. Not only do artists get exceptional access to these facilities and various process mediums, but they also receive generous stipends, private studios, technical assistance, comfortable housing and institutional support. In addition, they are embraced by a dedicated and warm staff, all on a beautiful 65-acre campus that is truly a creative sanctuary, just 45 minutes south of Philadelphia.

If you are interested in applying or know someone who might be, I ask that you do apply or pass on this information (deadline August 25, 2008). The application is simple and the jury process exceedingly sensitive and fair. Only twelve C.G.C.A. fellowships are given per year but the process is free and easy and surprisingly open. Check the website for program details and please come visit the organization for other activities all year long.
