Grant Details
Grant awards to artists generally range from $500 to $3000, depending on the amount of money each consortium raises, the number of applicants, the number of artists selected, and the types of projects funded.
Please do not submit requests seeking more than $3000. It is very rare that we even give that much. Your project may exceed $3000 but you will need to include how you intend to raise the difference between what we give and what you need.
Types of fundable projects include:
- Creation of a new work;
- Purchase of equipment;
- Professional development workshops;
- Travel support for expenses associated with a professional opportunity such as participating in an exhibition or a conference;
- Development or upgrading of promotional materials such as brochures, DVDs, CDs, and websites.
