Artists:

Byrdcliffe awards two visual arts fellowships:

Pollock–Krasner Fellowships: $1,100 award and pay no tuition. Photographers are not eligible for this fellowship. The Byrdcliffe Master for 2010 is Joan Snyder. Five Fellows will be selected and each Fellow will have access to Joan for critiques, career opportunity discussions and to share insight and guidance during their four–week residency.

This project is supported in part by a grant from the The Pollock–Krasner Foundation.
