Summary

This funding opportunity is geared toward individual artists and arts‑based organizations located in Kentucky. It focuses exclusively on creative work that links artistic expression with social change and feminist perspectives. Eligible applicants must live in Kentucky and engage in projects that reflect a commitment to issues affecting women, girls, trans or gender‑diverse people, and broader community justice.


The grants are designed for arts‑based activities — visual, performing, literary, media or interdisciplinary — where the creative work is aligned with a feminist outlook and intended to spark dialogue, reflection or transformation in the community. Projects might involve developing a new body of work, refining technique, engaging participants in collaborative artmaking, or holding workshops that invite community involvement.


Funds may be used for project costs tied to the creative process — such as materials, residencies, new work development, artist time, and community‑engaged participatory art practices. They are not intended for general operating expenses unrelated to the project, nor for initiatives outside the arts or feminist/social‑change focus. 


Award amounts vary according to the scope of the project. Past information indicates typical grants ranging from a few thousand dollars to mid‑range funding amounts, depending on the program and work proposed. For example one track supports individual artists to build new work or engage in residencies. 


Applications are accepted on an annual cycle: one grant round opens in late winter/early spring and another in late summer/early fall. Deadlines are clearly defined, and applicants should plan to submit well ahead of them.


Overall, this opportunity is a strong fit for Kentucky‑based artists or arts organizations with a clear feminist/social‑justice lens, who have a thoughtful plan for creating art that engages others, makes change, and reflects high artistic standards.
