MFA Alumnus Awarded 2025 United States Artists Fellowship
Congratulations to our MFA alumnus Raquel Gutiérrez who was named one of the 2025 United States Artist fellows.
The USA Fellowship awards artists and collaboratives across the following disciplines: Architecture & Design, Craft, Dance, Film, Media, Music, Theater & Performance, Traditional Arts, Visual Art, and Writing. In addition to $50,000 in unrestricted funding, USA provides access to tailored services such as financial planning, career consulting, legal advice, and personal care.
A diverse and rotating group of arts professionals, including creative practitioners, anonymously nominate artists and collaboratives to apply each year. Our network of nominators identifies artists who demonstrate artistic integrity and make significant contributions to our ecosystem. Ten panels review applications and identify finalists, which are then approved by our Board of Trustees.
