What is the Professional Artist Fellowship? The Professional Artist Fellowship is a prestigious grant program that honors the living artists of Long Beach who have profoundly impacted our local communities. Artists who live, work, or actively create within the city, and who have maintained a consistent exhibition or production record over the past three years, are eligible to apply. The fellowship is awarded based on artistic merit and professional achievement, and it embraces all genres of artistry—from visual and performing arts to culinary and literary works, as well as folk and traditional arts.
This fellowship is more than just a grant. It’s a recognition of the immense talent and hard work of our city’s creatives. It celebrates those who have made Long Beach their canvas, creating works that speak to, and for, our community.
