Delaware’s Individual Artist Fellowships recognize artists for their outstanding quality of work and provide monetary awards.

Individual Artist Fellows are publicly acknowledged and benefit from the additional exposure to their work. Fellows are required to showcase their work in a public exhibition or performance.

In 2023, the Division received work samples from 118 Delaware choreographers; composers; musicians; writers; and folk, media, and visual artists. The work samples were reviewed by out-of-state arts professionals who considered the demonstrated creativity and skill in each artist’s respective art form. Seventeen artists were awarded fellowships in the following categories – two, Masters; seven, Established; and eight, Emerging. The seventeen selected fellows reside throughout Delaware including Arden, Bridgeville, Claymont, Felton, Harrington, Lewes, Newark, Smyrna, and Wilmington
