Who We are (About the Organization):
The Fine Arts Work Center (FAWC) is an artist-led organization based in Provincetown and connected to the world. We support artistic freedom, nurture creative connections, and make possible artistic achievements important to the larger culture. We are dedicated to encouraging the growth and development of emerging visual artists and writers and restoring the year-round vitality of the historic art community of Provincetown, Massachusetts.
In 2024, the Fine Arts Work Center was named one of the top three artist-founded and artist-led residencies in the world by Artnet. Since its creation nearly 60 years ago, the Fellowship has become one of the world’s leading residency programs. Each year, the Work Center offers 20 seven-month residencies to a juried group of emerging visual artists, fiction writers, and poets. During this time, Fellows can pursue their work independently within a diverse, supportive community of peers. Residencies run from October 1 through April 30. Each Fellow receives an apartment, a studio (for visual artists), and a monthly stipend of $1,300 plus an exit stipend of $1,000.
The Fine Arts Work Center has hosted more than 1,100 Fellows since 1968, nurturing an accomplished and far-reaching network. The Work Center’s Fellows, who arrive in Provincetown as emerging and mostly unknown writers and artists, have gone on to win multiple Pulitzer Prizes, National Book Awards, Prix de Rome scholarships, Whiting Awards, Guggenheim Fellowships, and the Nobel Prize in Literature. Visual artists have presented their work at the Venice Biennale, The Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney, The New Museum, MASS MoCA, Friends of the High Line, and many other venues around the world.
The Fine Arts Work Center also presents an open-enrollment Summer Workshop Program that serves hundreds of students and faculty in Provincetown each summer; an online programming initiative, recently rebranded as FAWC Online, that promotes creative practice; and an extensive series of year-round cultural events, exhibitions, and artist residencies.
