Any artist who identifies as part of a marginalized racial or ethnic group is invited to apply. Examples may include people who are Black, African American, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, mixed race, and other people of color. Scholarships include full tuition and housing for a 4- or 5-day workshop of the recipient's choice (some limits apply, see below). Recipients are responsible for the cost of supplies, meals, and travel.
Jalyn Cox received a scholarship in 2021. She talks about being a self-taught artist and what it was like taking a class at Snow Farm in this blog post and video interview.
The application and award process is intended to be highly accessible and reduce bias.
- Scholarships awards will be made through a lottery.
- Financial need, level of education, and professional accomplishment are not criteria for entry to the lottery.
- The application requires a statement of interest that can be submitted in writing or by video.
- A $35 application partially supports Snow Farm's administrative costs.
