Inaugurated in 2005 celebrating FOCA’s 30th Anniversary, this award is a biennial, unrestricted grant for up to three artists with an exhibition history of ten years or more. A panel of distinguished curators nominate the artists who are then invited to apply for the award.  Jurors, who are prominent arts professionals in the community, evaluate and select the artists for FOCAFellowships. Two years later, the same jurors become the next nominators.
