The Connie Boochever Artist Fellowship awards recognize and support Alaska emerging artists of exceptional talent. Every other year the fellowships alternate between the performing arts, and the visual arts. In the 2023 cycle, a select number of $3,000 fellowships will be awarded to individual artists working in visual art, including film, digital and media arts. The fellowships are funded through The Alaska Arts and Culture Foundation.
The Connie Boochever Fellowship was established in 2001 by her family to honor and reflect the spirited passion of the arts Mrs. Boochever consistently demonstrated. Connie Boochever was an avid performer, director, and producer of community theatre and a lifelong patron and advocate of the arts. Her crusading efforts gave the arts a voice in Alaska’s government, and she played a key role in advocating for passage of legislation that created the Percent for Art in Public Places program. Connie’s legacy can be seen in art installed in public buildings around the state.
