About
Mid-America Arts Alliance's Catalyze program awards $10,000 fellowships each year to 25 artists in central and eastern Arkansas and the Arkansas Delta. The program combines money, mentoring and management: recipients choose how to spend the funds on their creative practice, and also receive professional development and coaching. It is open to artists in any discipline who show deep commitment to their work and motivation to advance their careers. Applications opened October 1, 2026 and close December 1, 2026. A virtual info session on November 10 is recorded for those who cannot attend live, and the program guidelines list full requirements.
