LACE is thrilled to announce our fifth LACE Lightning Fund open call, a regional regranting fund made possible by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. The LACE Lighting Fund is an annual grant for artists and artist-driven organizations, projects, and publications. In 2020 and 2021, the Lightning Fund provided emergency relief grants to over 100 LA-based artists. In 2022, the Fund pivoted to supporting artist projects.

This year, LACE will award 10 artist project grants in the amount of $6,000\. Only applicants that are LA County residents, are at least 18 years of age, and are not currently enrolled in a college program, will be considered. 

  
LACE is also accepting applicants for the **Jacki Apple Fund**, supporting one LA-based mid- or late-career artist with a $10,000 grant for work resulting in performance, media, exhibition, and/or publication within one year of the award. One artist will be selected through the Lightning Fund application process for this honor. The artist selected for the Jacki Apple Award will have the added requirement of being a mid- or late-career artist. No additional application is required to be considered for this award.

 Project grants in the amount of $6,000\.
