Summary
This grant opportunity provides substantial support for individual creative practitioners working across a wide range of artistic and cultural disciplines. The program is intended for individuals rather than nonprofit organizations or businesses, with eligibility extended to artists residing in all U.S. states and territories. Applicants may be based in urban, suburban, or rural regions, and the opportunity is structured to encourage participation from diverse geographic and professional backgrounds.
Funding is awarded to support the development and completion of original creative projects. Grant amounts can reach up to $50,000 per recipient, with funds designed to be flexible in use. Allowable expenses may include research and development, production costs, materials, collaboration, travel related to the project, and other direct costs necessary to advance the work. In addition to larger awards, a complementary funding track provides smaller grants of approximately $10,000 to individual artists, ensuring broader access to financial support across all states and territories.
Beyond direct financial assistance, the opportunity emphasizes long-term career sustainability. Recipients benefit from structured professional development resources intended to strengthen strategic planning, visibility, and organizational capacity. This may include advisory services, peer exchange, and opportunities to connect with national networks that support creative practice. These non-monetary benefits are designed to enhance the impact of the funded projects while supporting artists’ continued growth beyond the grant period.
The overall intent of the funding is to enable ambitious, forward-looking creative work that may not be easily supported through traditional funding channels. Priority is placed on originality, artistic risk, and projects that contribute meaningfully to the cultural landscape. By investing in individual creators nationwide, the program seeks to advance innovative ideas, encourage experimentation, and support the sustained development of artistic careers across the United States.
