Welcome to a new section of the Division's web site that promotes the recipients of the Florida Individual Artist Fellowship Program!

Each artist listed below was reviewed on the criteria of artistic excellence, consistency in the body of work and professional achievement/peer support. For information on each artist, click on their name.  You will be directed to work samples, biographical information, images and related links. 

Through this page you may also access a searchable database containing all Individual Artist Fellowship Recipients throughout the history of the program.   

In 2004-2005, the Division awarded twenty-five $5,000 fellowship awards in the disciplines of Dance, Folklife, Interdisciplinary, Literature, Music and Theatre.
