Artists’ Fellowship Emergency Financial Aid

Details from the funder

Professional fine artists and their families residing in the US or its territories facing recent serious sickness, disaster, bereavement or comparable emergency. Eligible fields include painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, illustration, fine-art photography/ceramics, mixed media, performance art and installation. Professional activity and sustained practice must be documented; long careers receive preference. Performing/literary artists, makeup/fashion/graphic designers, filmmakers, commercial photographers and hobbyists are excluded; primarily market-driven work is unlikely to qualify. General debt or unemployment alone does not qualify. Submit a CV, ID, emergency/expense evidence and two recent federal returns including Schedule C; explain any IRS filing exemption. No education, exhibition, residency/travel or art-supply funding. Requests above $20,000 are not considered.
