Every year, we partner with the McKnight Foundation to recognize two exceptional book artists with this prestigious fellowship, which includes an unrestricted $25,000 award alongside a range of career-building benefits.

I hope you’ll apply—and please share this opportunity with your artist friends across the state!

All the best,
