What is Pew Fellowships in the Arts?
Pew Fellowships in the Arts (PFA), a program of the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, was established in 1991 by The Pew Charitable Trusts to provide financial support to individual artists of exemplary talent working in the Philadelphia region in a wide variety of artistic disciplines. The awards are paid directly to artists, allowing them the opportunity to focus intensely on their work. Fellowships may be awarded to artists at any stage of their career development and to artists working within many different aesthetics and traditions.
