  • ARTIST FELLOWSHIP SAMPLE PACKET What Follows Is a Range of Applicant Responses to Artist Fellowship Application Prompts
    ARTIST FELLOWSHIP SAMPLE PACKET What follows is a range of applicant responses to Artist Fellowship application prompts. Artist Fellowship applications are scored based on Artistic Merit, and Artistic Quality in Technique and Technical Skills, Creativity, Originality, and Work Samples. While each criteria is scored individually on a scale of 1 (poor) – 5 (excellent), please consider that for a grant evaluator, the separate criteria also work together to give the most complete picture of an artist applicant. Artist Statement* Write an Artist Statement describing your artistic style and who you are as an artist (1000 characters with spaces) Artist Statement Sample #1 As an artist I explore and interpret ideas, emotions and experiences. A multilayered artwork can create a dialogue between the artist and the viewer and can be enjoyed on many levels. I look for the essential element or elements of a subject and find visual symbols for these elements and create a narrative. Some symbols are obvious universal symbols, some are personal symbols that I hope speak to the universal psyche, and many introduce themselves intuitively and can only be understood on an emotional level. Artwork is a process of inspiration, meditation, investigation, creation, interpretation and intuition. Mystery is essential to art and to life, it is what keeps us questioning and questing. Artist Statement Sample #2 I am a lyrical, autobiographical and spiritual poet. My subjects are ordinary people and places. My work has achieved regional acceptance and recognition from Academy of American Poets, PEN International, American Academy in Rome, Distinguished Artist Award from R2AC. Bringing my early poems into an energetic relationship with the new is the alchemical process needed to realize my mature artistic vision.

Urban space, they found, was segregated in ‘neighbourhoods’ based on the cultural background of immigrants. It was thought that this segregation would disappear as immigrants and their offspring assimilated in American culture. However, subsequent researchers found that urban space remained segregated, not based on cultural background but on class and race. Researchers found that the attachment to particular neighbourhoods also depended on various other aspects as well. They became more heterogene- ous, yet their names and boundaries remained the same, thus maintaining their distinctiveness vis-à-vis other neighbourhoods. This raises the question as to what constitutes a neighbourhood. Or what defines this ‘distinctiveness’ other than just a name and a boundary? Geogra- phers have many definitions, all of which can be grouped according to explana- tions that describe neighbourhoods as (1) homogeneous areas sharing demo- graphic or housing characteristics; (2) areas that may have diverse characteris- tics but whose residents share some cohesive sense of identity, political organi- zation or social organization; (3) housing sub-markets in which homes are considered close substitutes; and (4) small spatial units that do not necessarily have any of the above characteristics (Megbolugbe et al.
