ACC Announces New Visual Arts Fellowship from The Sovereign Art Foundation
|
The Asian Cultural Council is pleased to announce that an important donation from The Sovereign Art Foundation will enable the ACC to award a new fellowship to visual artists from Asia for research, study and creative work in the United States. Artists from any country in Asia are eligible to receive the ACC/Sovereign Art Foundation Fellowship. As with all ACC fellowships, priority consideration will be given to candidates with little or no previous opportunity to visit the United States. The Sovereign Art Foundation was created in 2003 by Howard Bilton, Chairman of The Sovereign Group, to promote and support visual artists from the Asia Pacific region. The Foundation launched its program in April of this year with an exhibition of works by Asian artists, followed by an auction organized by Sotheby’s. (http://www.SovereignGroup.com)
The Asian Cultural Council, now celebrating its
fortieth anniversary, is an American cultural exchange organization
which supports Asians in the arts undertaking research, creative work
and advanced training in the U.S. Founded by John D. Rockefeller 3rd in
1963, the ACC has funded more than 4,000 arts professionals from across
Asia and the United States. For more information, refer to: www.asianculturalcouncil.org The first ACC/Sovereign Art Foundation Fellowship will be awarded by the Council’s Board of Trustees in June 2005.
