United States Artists (USA) has announced its 2025 cohort of 50 fellows from 21 states, spanning various artistic disciplines. Each recipient, including notable artists like Caroline Kent and Gala Porras-Kim, receives an unrestricted $50,000 grant. USA emphasizes support for interdisciplinary work, allowing artists to choose their discipline based on their evolving practices. In addition to financial aid, fellows receive professional support valued at $6,000, which includes assistance with taxes, financial planning, and legal matters. This holistic approach aids artists in maximizing the opportunities presented by the fellowship.
The fellowship has always been at its core for artists working across disciplines," Judilee Reed, USA's president, says, emphasizing the program's dedication to multi-faceted creativity.
This allows them to approach their practice through any lens depending on the shape their work transforms into," Reed notes about the artist's choice of discipline.
Artists can build perspective around how they pursue the opportunities enabled by the grant," Reed says, reflecting on the professional support components of the fellowship.
What was appealing to me about being an artist in the first place was to be able to do all of the above," says Porras-Kim on the enjoyment of multi-disciplinary work.
