Grants for Creative Practitioners Making Contemporary Work
GrantID: 75094
Grant Funding Amount Low: $300
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $300
Summary
This microgrant is aimed at artists and curators who are mounting a public project. It offers a modest stipend of $300, provided with no strings attached; recipients can use it as they see fit to support their work. Eligible projects include exhibitions, performances, or other visual arts activities that include at least one public event (like an opening or show) and take place within a short time frame (within three months before or after the application). Both forthcoming and recently completed projects are acceptable, as long as they fall within the defined window.
The goal is to help offset costs that artists and curators often bear themselves—things like materials, installation, promotion, or modest logistical expenses. Because the amount is small, it’s not designed to fund large-scale production, but rather to provide flexible support where it can make a meaningful difference.
The application is done online, and this microgrant is offered in quarterly cycles (with deadlines at regular intervals—January 1, April 1, July 1, October 1 are examples). Approval is relatively fast, and recipients don’t have to submit elaborate justifications about how every dollar is used, making it friendly for grassroots activity.
This opportunity is ideal for individual visual artists or curators working locally who want some financial backing to stage or promote creative work with community engagement.
