Creative Grant Opportunity Supporting Visual Artists
GrantID: 21036
Grant Funding Amount Low: $2,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $50,000
Summary
This creative grant opportunity supports visual artists based in a southeastern U.S. state. It is open exclusively to individual artists—not nonprofits or businesses—and is designed to nurture their professional development, studio practice, and artistic growth. The funding provides unrestricted financial support, allowing recipients to use the money in the way that best advances their personal vision and goals.
One component of the program offers a residency-style fellowship: selected artists receive a full year of dedicated studio space in a well-equipped workspace, along with a generous stipend to support living or creative expenses. This residency is meant to free artists from the pressures of day-to-day survival, giving them the space and time to deepen their work, experiment, and imagine ambitious new directions.
In addition to the fellowship, there are smaller grant opportunities for artists interested in professional development or realizing a project. These grants may support costs like travel, research, materials, portfolio development, or exhibitions. The grant program places a strong emphasis on significant, self-directed work and values innovation, artistic exploration, and sustained creative growth.
Applications are accepted on a regular, annual cycle. Artists typically submit work samples, a project proposal or statement of intent, a budget plan, and a short biography. Finalists may advance to a further review phase—sometimes including a conversation or interview where artists discuss their artistic practice and aspirations.
This grant opportunity is ideal for mid-career or emerging visual artists in that state who are ready to commit to a year of concentrated studio time or make meaningful progress on a specific project. Because the funding is flexible and the application process straightforward, it’s particularly well suited to creative professionals who want to stretch their capabilities, build momentum, and make significant progress on their artistic journeys.
