In addition to the increased award amount, this year CCF has made updates to the guidelines, eligibility and application. They include:
-
Increasing the award amount from $15,000 (emerging) and $20,000 (mid-career) to $25,000 for all recipients regardless of career level. Twelve Los Angeles County-based artists will be selected and notified in early December.

- Requiring a minimum age of 25 years old.
The goal of the Fellowship remains the same: to fund outstanding Los Angeles County based visual artists from diverse backgrounds in order to support sustainable careers in the arts. For more than 100 years, CCF has recognized, encouraged and supported the Southern California arts community by funding and nurturing a full range of artistic expressions.
