FY 2027 Grantees

General Operating Support for Artists (GOSA) is sponsored by Rhode Island State Council on the Arts (RISCA). The General Operating Support for Artists (GOSA) program provides grants for three consecutive years to individual artists in Rhode Island. The grants are intended to support artists in working towards large, self-identified goals in their art practice.

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.
