GRANTS | RESIDENCIES | FELLOWSHIPS
This is the second year for Aligned: Summer Workshops for Artists, and the second year I'm struck by how funding is the thing getting in our way. So, I have decided that twice a year I will publish all the grants, residencies and fellowship information I can dig up, because the funding is out there but WHERE IS IT?
Use these links below as a starting point, go down the rabbit hole and find the funding you need today!
FOUNDATION FOR CONTEMPORARY ART šš¼
Deadline: Any time before December 31st, 2021
Created in 1993 to further FCA's mission to encourage, sponsor, and promote work of a contemporary, experimental nature, Emergency Grants provide urgent funding for visual and performing artists who:
Have sudden, unanticipated opportunities to present their work to the public when there is insufficient time to seek other sources of funding
Incur unexpected or unbudgeted expenses for projects close to completion with committed exhibition or performance dates
Emergency Grants is the only active, multi-disciplinary program that offers immediate assistance of this kind to artists living and working anywhere in the United States, for projects occurring in the U.S. and abroad.
Each month FCA receives an average of 95 Emergency Grant applications and makes approximately 12-15 grants. Grants range in amount from $500 to $3,000, and the average grant is now $1,700.
