About LLMA Artist Fellowship
The Leslie Lohman Artist Fellowship is a program designed to empower and support queer artists. A new cohort of 12 Fellows will participate in a series of professional development workshops that provide art business skills, strategic planning, peer to peer learning, mentorship and community building across disciplines to create a sustainable art practice. The program presents a wholistic approach to art finances and personal finances, instilling a life-long strategic approach to a sustainable art practice rather than a project-by-project approach.
A seminar series brings critical discourse and historical context to the program.
