Fellowship Application, William E. Artis, 1946-1947
Description
Correspondence between William Ellisworth Artis and Rosenwald Fund staff, including Mr. and Mrs. William C. Haygood, as well as with Mary Beattie Brady, Richard Barthe, and Dr. Alain Locke. This file documents the fellowship application of artist William Ellisworth Artis, beginning with his request for an application and the submission of his formal application materials, which include his plan of work, references, and professional experience. The selection process is detailed through several confidential reports and supporting letters, including encouraging notes from Richard Barthe about reapplying if initially unsuccessful. The record confirms the successful award of a 1,500 dollars fellowship for a twelve-month period. Subsequent correspondence details the grants administration, including the payment schedule and an offered extension to accommodate Artis's studies with Professor Mestrovic at Syracuse University.
