Summary
A unique funding opportunity awaits artists experiencing housing insecurity in New York City, offering substantial financial support to help secure stable living conditions. With award amounts totaling $30,000 distributed over three years, this initiative aims to empower visual artists in their creative pursuits by alleviating the burden of unstable housing situations.
Eligible applicants include individual visual artists who have resided in one of NYC's five boroughs for at least five consecutive years, with an adjusted gross income of $75,000 or less. This opportunity is particularly focused on artists who demonstrate a commitment to contemporary art through public exhibitions, community projects, and participation in recognized programs.

The grant is structured to provide three payments over three years, starting with $12,000 in the first year, followed by $10,000 and $8,000 in subsequent years. Funds are intended solely for rent, security deposits, and utilities, ensuring that artists can focus on their work without the constant worry of housing instability.
This funding opportunity not only addresses immediate needs but also fosters long-term artistic growth and sustainability. By enabling recipients to lock in stable housing, it paves the way for creative expression and community engagement. Artists facing challenges in the Big Apple are encouraged to explore this chance to build a supportive foundation for their careers.
The potential impact of this funding extends beyond individual artists, contributing to the vibrant cultural landscape of New York City.
