Future Artists Grants is a grant from Crafting the Future (CTF) that funds BIPOC artists through two tiers of support. Artist Micro Grants provide $500 in unrestricted funding for artistic and living expenses, including art supplies, travel, housing, application fees, tuition, and studio fees.
Special Project Macro Grants offer up to $10,000 to support new and existing projects that help artists of color access opportunities in art education, career development, networking, and personal growth. Macro Grants are specifically designed to offset financial hardships associated with underfunded positions such as internships, assistantships, residencies, and workshops.

Recipients to date have included youth arts organizations and individuals seeking to provide stipends to BIPOC mentors, interns, and assistants who would otherwise be unable to access these underfunded positions and learning opportunities within the arts. Grants of up to $10,000 are available. Grantees must be based in the United States or Territories.
