Summary
This creative funding opportunity is available for visual artists working within the central region of a Midwestern state, focused on celebrating and advancing contemporary visual arts. The grant is designed to recognize individual artists for their professional achievements and support their continued creative growth. This funding is not awarded annually but is available every other year, making it a unique and selective opportunity.
Recipients of the award receive $15,000 each, alongside the chance to present their work in a public exhibition hosted by a notable cultural institution in the region. This exhibition provides increased visibility, community engagement, and recognition among peers and art patrons. Artists who receive this support may also be considered for additional opportunities to expand their work internationally through cultural exchange programs.
This grant is aimed at professional visual artists who have a demonstrated commitment to their craft. While eligibility is generally tied to a particular metropolitan area, the precise residency requirements are not rigidly defined, although previous patterns suggest a strong regional focus. The program is open to individual artists, not organizations, and is ideal for those with a professional track record seeking both funding and exposure.
The intent of the funding is to support artistic excellence, elevate the profile of contemporary visual arts, and strengthen the cultural fabric of the local community. This opportunity is ideal for artists who are not only interested in financial support but also in meaningful public engagement and the potential for international experience.
With a history of recognizing outstanding talent, this grant continues to serve as a significant platform for regional artists to gain momentum in their careers while contributing to the broader cultural landscape of their community.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Ohio that are actively involved in Awards. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
