Lifetime Fellows

The State Arts Council awarded Individual Artist Fellowships from 1981 – 2013 to New Hampshire artists in recognition of their artistic excellence and professional commitment. Awards were presented to artists representing a wide range of art forms in the broad discipline categories of literary arts, visual arts & crafts, and performing arts.

The following New Hampshire artists received three or more Individual Artist Fellowships. Once designated a Lifetime Fellow, artists were celebrated at a special ceremony honoring their achievement and were no longer eligible to apply for future Fellowship awards.

The State Arts Council thanks these artists for sharing creativity, vision, and hard work over many years.
