Idaho Commission on the Arts Fellowship Exhibition

Fellowships in Craft, Design, and Visual Arts Touring Exhibit

Since 1986, the Idaho Commission on the Arts has awarded Fellowships to artists producing exceptional work and demonstrating a deep commitment to artistic practice. Fellowships are a rare honor. They are offered on a rotation of disciplines: visual art, performing and media arts, and literature. A Fellowship recipient may receive three awards in a lifetime. Only three artists—a painter, a choreographer, and a poet—have achieved this distinction.

This exhibit shares the work of five artists receiving Fellowships and two receiving Honorable Mentions in 2018. The artists were chosen by a peer-review panel using an anonymous process and the panel recommendations were approved by ICA Commissioners in May 2017.

The Idaho Commission on the Arts is committed to sharing the work of Idaho artists and connecting all Idahoans to meaningful experiences with the arts. This eclectic group of artists exemplifies the many ways that excellence may be achieved and how art, as a category of human endeavor, expands to allow and encourage all that the imagination may offer.
