Delaware’s Individual Artist Fellowships recognize artists for their outstanding quality of work and provide monetary awards. This year, MFA alum Dennis Lawson of Newark was recognized with an Established Professional Fellowship for Fiction, and MFA alum Tim Lynch of Wilmington was recognized with an Emerging Professional Fellowship for Poetry.
In 2025, the Division received work samples from 191 Delaware choreographers; composers; musicians; writers; and folk, media, and visual artists. The work samples were reviewed by out-of-state arts professionals who considered the demonstrated creativity and skill in each artist’s respective art form. Twenty-one artists were awarded fellowships.
The work of the Fellows will be featured in a group exhibition, Award Winners XXV, at the Biggs Museum of American Art, and will travel to CAMP Rehoboth and Cab Calloway School of the Arts.
Congratulations to Dennis and Tim!
