The Circ Artist Grant is open to emerging, mid-career, and professional artists in an international open call.
The Circ Artist Grant provides unrestricted funding to artists with a demonstrated commitment to their artistic work. Two artists per grant cycle are awarded $1000 each to enhance and further their creative practice.
Artists are some of the most resourceful, multi-skilled individuals. You not only create important work but also manage marketing, financial management, grant writing, and administrative duties, on top of trying to live a life and manage home and family needs.
Circ Artist Grant believes that artists deserve to be paid for all aspects of their work, which is not limited to creating the actual art. Circ Artist Grants are unrestricted, allowing artists to have some financial breathing room to place their time and energy where they best see fit.
