STATEWIDE — ARTISTS IN NEW YORK STATE can now apply for a fellowship program that will match them with partnerships in state agencies, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced on Wednesday.
The New York State of the Arts Fellowship, which the New York State Council on the Arts administers, brings artists and state government together to build community connection, enhance public spaces and amplify vital public service initiatives.
Launched in 2026 and now entering its second year, the State of the Arts Fellowship will embed selected artists within four state agencies for year-long residencies to develop and implement projects. Artists from all disciplines — including visual, performance, literature, film, and interdisciplinary practices — may apply, with a deadline of Wednesday, Oct. 21 at 5 p.m. Selected fellows will be notified in early 2027.
The participating agencies are New York State Canal Corporation, New York State Division of Human Rights, NYS Homes & Community Renewal/State of New York Mortgage Agency and the NYS Office for People With Developmental Disabilities.
