Summary
This set of awards offers a variety of grants and fellowships for individual artists and arts organizations. Eligibility often depends on age (usually 18 + or 21 +), state residency (with many opportunities restricted to residents of a particular state), and discipline (visual arts, performing arts, literary arts, choreography, digital media, etc.).
Grants are made both for unrestricted support (money you can use broadly to further your work) and for project‐based or emergency needs. Some awards respond to crises or emergencies; others support creation of new work, professional development, or general artistic practice. The amounts can vary widely depending on the specific grant; some are small emergency grants, others are more substantial fellowships.
Nonprofit arts organizations may also be eligible for certain awards, especially those that support arts access, public engagement, or infrastructure. But many of the grants are specifically tailored for individual artists. Individuals applying must typically demonstrate a body of work, a residency in the required state, and alignment with the discipline(s) accepted for that particular award.
Geographically, most of the opportunities are limited to residents in New York State; some are limited further to New York City. The funding aims to help artists maintain stability, respond to urgent financial crises, explore new creative work, or deepen their practice. The benefits include financial relief, recognition, and resources to enable artistic growth.
