Individual Artist Fellows - Delaware Division of the Arts Grants for Arts Organizations Grants for Community-Based Organizations Logos & Funding Acknowledgment Delaware State of the Arts Podcast Delaware’s Individual Artist Fellowships recognize artists for their outstanding quality of work and provide monetary awards. Individual Artist Fellows are publicly acknowledged and benefit from the additional exposure to their work.
Fellows are required to showcase their work in a public exhibition or performance. For 2026, the Division received work samples from 246 Delaware choreographers; composers; musicians; writers; and folk, media, and visual artists. The work samples were reviewed by out-of-state arts professionals who considered the demonstrated creativity and skill in each artist’s respective art form.
Twenty-seven artists were selected for fellowships across three categories—one Master Fellow, 14 Established Fellows, and 12 Emerging Fellows—and the Division also named five runners-up, each of whom will receive an honorarium.
The twenty-seven selected fellows reside throughout Delaware including Georgetown, Middletown, Bear, Townsend, Newark, Magnolia, Bethany Beach, New Castle, Rehoboth Beach, Farmington, Lewes, Milford, Smyrna, and Wilmington. The work of the Fellows will be featured in a group exhibition, Award Winners XXVI , which kicks off at the Biggs Museum of American Art and will travel statewide.
To contact an individual artist, please email or call: Roxanne Stanulis, Program Officer, Artist Programs and Services, Roxanne. Stanulis@delaware. gov or 302-577-8283.
The next deadline for Individual Artist Fellowship applications will be Monday, August 3, 2026 by 11:59 p. m. The Division offers fellowships in the artistic disciplines of choreography, folk art, jazz, literature, media arts, music, and visual arts.
Artists’ work samples are reviewed by nationally recognized out-of-state arts professionals, considering both demonstrated creativity and skill in the art form. The awards allow artists to pursue advanced training, purchase equipment and materials, or fulfill other needs that will help advance their careers. The highest honor—the Masters Fellow—is reserved for those who meet rigorous criteria.
Funding dependent, typically only one Masters Fellow can be awarded each year. Disciplines rotate every three years. During the fellowship year, recipients are required to showcase their work in a public exhibit or performance in Delaware.
