ST. PAUL, MN, January 15, 2025 — Jerome Foundation is pleased to announce the 2025 Jerome Hill Artist Fellows, awarding 45 early career artists based in Minnesota and New York City. Fellows receive $60,000 over three consecutive years ($20,000 each year) in support of flexible, self-designed plans for their creative endeavors. The Jerome Hill Artist Fellowship supports artists working in and across multiple artistic fields, including dance; film; literature; music; technology centered arts; theater, performance, and spoken word; and visual arts.

Jerome Foundation seeks to serve artists who take creative risks in exploring, expanding, imagining, or re-imagining creative practices and experiences; reclaiming or reviving traditional forms in original ways; and/or questioning, challenging, or disrupting cultural norms. This three-year Fellowship supports artists who embrace their roles as part of a larger community of artists and citizens, and who consciously work with a sense of service and responsibility.
