Fellowship Amounts
Fellowships are non-matching awards of $3,000. There is no pre-determined number of Fellowships to be awarded in each discipline. The Commission and its review panel(s) may determine that no Fellowships be awarded. The Arts Commission designates a special, honorary Joan Shipley Award to one Fellow, recognizing the great Oregon arts leader Joan Shipley, who passed away in 2011. A founding board member of PICA and the Bonnie Bronson Trust, Shipley was a collector, philanthropist and supporter of many arts and humanities organizations.
