Eureka Fellowship Program
Founded in 1986, the Fleishhacker Foundation’s Eureka Fellowship Program provides unrestricted support to visual artists living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Artists are selected on a three-year cycle, with four fellowships each year. In honor of the program’s 40th anniversary, the fellowship has been increased from $35,000 to $40,000 per artist, making the Eureka awards among the largest visual arts fellowships in Northern California.
Artists must be nominated by a Bay Area nonprofit visual arts organization to qualify. Letters inviting nominations for the fellowships are sent before each three-year cycle. A panel of distinguished visual arts experts from outside the Bay Area then determines awards.
The nomination, application, and award process for the 2026–2028 award cycle is now complete.
We are delighted to announce the newest cohort of exceptional Eureka Fellows listed below.
A press release with information about the selection process, as well as a listing of nominating organizations and the exceptional artists they nominated, is available here.
Further information about the new and past Eureka Fellows is available by clicking the images below or here.
Details about the next fellowship cycle will be announced in 2028. Please note that general applications are not accepted.
