Cultural Grant Program

NAF Cultural Grant Program is sponsored by The Netherland-America Foundation. This program strengthens cultural ties between the Netherlands and the United States by supporting projects that promote artistic collaboration, cultural exchange, and shared creative expression across both countries. Projects should demonstrate a clear exchange between Dutch and American artists, institutions, or audiences, and can include exhibitions, performances, or other cultural initiatives that promote dialogue.

Jerome Early-Career Project Grants is a grant from Forecast Public Art, funded by the Jerome Foundation, that funds the creation of new public art projects by early-career artists based in Minnesota. Two grants of $8,000 each are awarded annually to support temporary or permanent public artworks anywhere in Minnesota. Projects may be supported by public or nonprofit agencies but private commissions are not eligible, and a secured project site is required at the time of application. The program places special emphasis on supporting BIPOC and Native artists, LGBTQIA+ artists, women artists, immigrant artists, rural artists, and artists with disabilities. Eligible applicants are Minnesota-based individual artists with 2–10 years of generative experience. The application deadline was October 15, 2025.
