Grant awards to artists generally range from $500 to $2500, depending on the amount of money each consortium raises, the number of applicants, the number of artists selected, and the types of projects funded.

If you submit requests seeking more than $2500, make it clear how you intend to pay for the project beyond what the grant covers. We need to know that the project is viable and able to be completed.

Grant requests are sometimes partially funded depending on the requests.

Who Qualifies?

The artist support grant is intended to support working artists. We do not recommend applying if you are a beginner or hobby artist unless you want to transition into the career and have a strong body of work to support that endeavor. Professors may only apply if it supports their career as an artist, not to support work for their university or classes they teach.

Make Reasonable Requests!

A jury of peers familiar with your medium will review applications. If selecting supplies or equipment, be prepared to justify why you need the items you seek.
