Robert & Margaret MacColl Johnson Fellowships

The Robert and Margaret MacColl Johnson Fellowship Fund, established at the Foundation in 2003, provides up to three $25,000 artist fellowships each year, rotating among composers, writers, and visual artists on a three-year cycle. In all three disciplines, the fellowships are awarded to Rhode Island artists whose work demonstrates exceptional creativity, rigorous dedication, and significant artistic merit.

MacColl Johnson Fellowships provide significant financial support to Rhode Island artists to enable them to concentrate time on the creative process, personal development, and expand their body of work. The fellowship honors and enhances public recognition of local artists producing work of high aesthetic quality.

The 2008 application deadline has past. Fellows will be announced in December.
