may use fellowship awards to pursue work in their artistic discipline, including purchasing sup-
plies, studying in a workshop situation, renting studio space, or otherwise freeing their time.
Applications are available in April and are due in mid-July. Decisions are announced in early
January. Recipients’ work is highlighted in biannual showcases. Categories available include:

New York Foundation for the Arts
Grants and Services for Artists
The New York Foundation for the Arts serves individual artists, promotes their freedom to
develop and create and provides the broader public with opportunities to experience and
understand their work. NYFA accomplishes this by offering financial and informational assistance
to artists and organizations that dirtly serve artists, by supporting arts programming in the
larger community, and by building collaborative relationships with others who advocate for the
arts in New York State and throughout the country.
Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA)
gives more money and support to arts organizations and artists of all disciplines than any other
comparable organization in the country: nearly $10 million in grants and services annually. Its
Fellowships of $7,000 each go to as many as 170 New York State artists every year from a field
of 16 disciplines, covering the visual, performing, and literary arts. NYFA also gives grants and
services to strengthen small arts organizations and provides artists with career development
support through workshops, information services, and print and electronic publications. For a
complete list of NYFA’s programs for individual artists, please visit www.nyfa.org/Artists.html.

About the Hotline & the New York Foundation for the Arts
In October 1990, the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation launched the Visual Artist Information
Hotline in cooperation with the American Council for the Arts (ACA). The Hotline was initiated by
members of the Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation’s Artist Advisory Committee, including Cynthia
Carlson, Chuck Close, Janet Fish, Philip Pearlstein, Harriet Shorr, Robert Storr and Irving Sandler.
The Hotline was intended to empower artists by providing them with complete and accurate
information about resources that will facilitate their artistic work. During its first five years of
operation at ACA, the Hotline responded to over 20,000 calls from artists nationwide. In March
1996, operation of the Hotline was transferred to the New York Foundation for the Arts.
The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) is a not-for-profit arts service organiza-
tion that provides grants and services to individual artists and arts-related organizations nation-
wide. Through its comprehensive programs, NYFA provides responsive leadership and offers
financial and informational support to artists and arts organizations. Individual visual artists are
eligible for several other programs at NYFA: Artists’ Fellowships - Grants for artists living in New
York State; Special Opportunity Stipends (SOS) - Awards for artists living in New York State
(except NYC) to take advantage of opportunities that will significantly benefit their career; The
Catalogue Project - Grants for women photographers over 40 in New York State to produce cata-
logues which document their work; FYI - NYFA’s quarterly journal of practical information for
artists and arts professionals; Arts Wire - NYFA’s on-line arts communication service; Fiscal
Sponsorship Program - Fiscal sponsorship and advisory service for artists’ projects. Please direct
any inquires concerning these programs directly to NYFA at (212) 366-6900, or by e-mail at

Pennsylvania Council on the Arts
Grants and Services for Artists
The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) is a state agency established in 1966 by the State
Legislature. Its mission is to foster the excellence, diversity, and vitality of the arts in
Pennsylvania and to broaden the availability and appreciation of those arts throughout the state.
The Council accomplishes this mission through a combination of grants to the arts; partnerships
and initiatives; technical assistance; and by serving as a resource for arts-related information for
state, federal and local government, the public, other funding entities, the arts field and other
interested organizations and individuals. Funding for the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts comes
from the citizens of Pennsylvania through an annual state appropriation and from the National
Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
The PCA is governed by a Council of 19 members – 15 private citizens and 4 members of
the General Assembly. The citizen members of the Council serve without compensation and are
appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Council sets the mis-
sion and goals for the agency, evaluates the progress toward these goals, formulates policy, and
makes final decisions on the use of funds. The agency has a professional staff of 16, headed by
the Executive Director. Pennsylvania Council on
