Eureka Fellowship Program

Founded in 1986, the Fleishhacker Foundation’s Eureka Fellowship Program offers unrestricted support for visual artists in the San Francisco Bay Area. Artists are selected on a three-year cycle, with four fellowships annually. A total of $35,000 is provided to each selected artist, making the Eureka awards among the largest visual arts fellowships in Northern California.

Artists must be nominated by a Bay Area nonprofit arts organization to qualify. Letters inviting nominations for the fellowships are sent before each three-year cycle. Awards are then determined by a review panel of non-Bay Area arts experts.

The nomination and application process for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 award cycle is now complete, and the new cohort of Eureka Fellows is below and announced here.

Information about the new and past Eureka Fellows is here.

Letters inviting nominations for the next three-year cycle will be sent in 2025. General applications are not accepted.
