artist grant 2026

Artist Grant awards an unrestricted $1200 USD grant to one visual artist three times each year.

We showcase grantees on our website, social media, and marketing materials. We also feature selected applicants (with permission) on our social media to celebrate and promote artists. We hope this provides insight into the wide range of creative efforts we consider.

We seek:

• A cohesive body of work

• Well-crafted work

• Well-presented work (with an understanding that artists have varying financial means and resources for presenting their work)

• Work that communicates its viewpoint, ideas, and concepts clearly, effectively, and creatively

• Work that is not derivative

All applicants are notified of grant results within 6–8 weeks after each application deadline. We also announce the results on our website, social media, and in our newsletter.
