United States Artists (USA) is a national nonprofit that awards annually nearly fifty unrestricted $50,000 fellowships to artists working in Architecture & Design, Craft, Dance, Film, Media, Music, Theater & Performance, Traditional Arts, Visual Art, and Writing. 

Since our founding in 2006, we have awarded over $25 million dollars to over 550 fellows in 49 states and Puerto Rico—we’re hoping we’ll get to Delaware one day! Each year, our fellows are nominated by artists, scholars, curators, arts administrators, and producers across the country who share our commitment to creating an ecosystem where artists are supported and recognized.

We are proudly funded by a broad range of philanthropic foundations and individuals committed to cultivating an environment that supports artists across the country. Learn more about our organization and process on our website.
