Luminarts Fellowships 2027
Luminarts Cultural Foundation
You should apply if you’re a Chicago-area visual artist or writer between 18 and 30.
About
The Luminarts Cultural Foundation awards Core Fellowships to young Chicago artists, each with an unrestricted $10,000 award. The 2027 cycle covers visual arts, creative writing, classical music and jazz improvisation, and some discipline requirements have changed from past years, so applicants should read the current guidelines first. Applications close at 11:59 pm Central on January 15, 2027, and extensions are not granted, so the foundation suggests submitting early in case of upload problems.
Eligibility
Artists aged 18 to 30 who live within 150 miles of the Chicago Loop, or who spent four to six consecutive formative years there and consider themselves Chicago artists.
