Abstract
Carolina García Jayaram, President and CEO of United States Artists (USA), discusses the history and mission of United States Artists, and uses this as a springboard to discuss her own career trajectory in arts nonprofits. García Jayaram also highlights the USA Fellows Program, in which $50,000 unrestricted awards are provided to individual artists and small collaborations, based on nominations by peers and experts in the respective fields. These Fellowships are awarded in nine creative disciplines—Architecture & Design, Crafts, Dance, Literature, Media, Music, Theater & Performance, Traditional Arts, Visual Arts—to recipients across every US state and territory. García Jayaram finishes by addressing questions regarding the non-profit job search. More information about United States Artists (USA) can be found here: http://www.unitedstatesartists.org More information about the USA Fellows Program can be found here: http://www.unitedstatesartists.org/about-2/ Humanities Without Walls is a consortium of 15 universities across the Midwestern United States, based at the Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, and funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. For more information, visit: http://www.humanitieswithoutwalls.illinois.edu
