The Carbondale Arts Fellowship will award $12,000 in scholarships in 2025; successful applicants will each receive a minimum of $1,000 and up to $3,000 in awards.
This fellowship can help an artist develop a vision, buy supplies, or rent rehearsal/studio space; it can help with residency/workshop fees or for marketing purposes. The uses are limitless, but the requests should be specific. Successful grant applications have a very clear explanation of how the funds will be used and how the funds will make something possible that may not otherwise be possible. Any artist residing within a ZIP code beginning with "816" may apply.
Possible criteria to consider for successful applicants may include but are not limited to:
- Community Impact: How does this project contribute to Carbondale and/or the Roaring Fork Valley's creative, cultural, or economic vitality?
- Creativity & Innovation: Is this a fresh and exciting idea?
- Feasibility & Readiness: Is there a clear and realistic plan?
- Inclusion & Engagement: Does this project invite broad community participation?
These grants help further the mission of Carbondale Arts (building community through art), the vision of the Carbondale Creative District (nurturing collaboration and innovaton within the creative industries) and to honor Alleghany Meadows, who has contributed so much to furthering the arts in Carbondale.
