Scholarships for BIPOC Artists

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.

All scholarships for the 2023 season have been awarded!  To receive information about other opportunities, make sure you're signed up for our e-newsletter. 

Jalyn Cox received a scholarship in 2021. She talks about being a self-taught artist and what is 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. Applicants will be asked to identify a first and second choice studio of interest and awards will be distributed among studios. 
  • 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 $25 application partially supports Snow Farm's administrative costs. 

Awards Process

  • Applications will be accepted until March 26, 2023.
  • Applications will be reviewed by the Snow Farm staff for completeness.
  • Members of the Snow Farm faculty and/or board of directors will oversee the drawings.
  • Selected applicants will be notified and given directions about how to choose and register for a workshop.

Terms and Limitations

  • Only workshops with space available at the time of the scholarship award are eligible for enrollment. Workshops that are full are not eligible.
  • Housing will be in a standard single room.
  • If a selected applicant declines their scholarship or does not register within the alotted time, another name will be drawn.
  • Any person who has been awarded a scholarship (excluding need-based scholarship to the high school program) in the past 3 years is not eligible.
  • The scholarship has no cash value if not used for a Snow Farm workshop.
