Project Grants for Small-Scale Organizations – The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts Proposals in this category are accepted for visual arts projects produced by US-based non-profit organizations with total annual operating budgets of $200,000 or less . The program supports small-scale arts organizations to develop and present experimental, temporary new work in the visual arts.
As with all of the Foundation’s grants, the project grants are aimed at supporting the creative risk-taking and growth of participating artist(s), therefore to be competitive in this category, applications must stress the opportunity the project represents for the artist(s) (as opposed to its impact on the community, the institution or the audience).
Examples of eligible projects in this category include temporary group and solo exhibitions, media screenings, film festivals, collaborative interdisciplinary work (for which the visual art is central), installations, residencies, interventions in archives, and projects which arise from community partnerships. * *This list is by no means exhaustive.
We welcome innovative and radical works by artists who have received little to no recognition, or those whose practices could be defined as being at the margins. Projects for which the visual arts are not central, and which have no public component will not be considered. Youth-focused efforts are not eligible.
Grants range from $20,000 – $30,000 and are intended to support direct costs. A proposal should be no more than 3 pages . Please be sure to include as many details about the project as possible including : Project dates, venue or location, duration, names of artist(s), descriptions of art work and its evolution, names of curators/organizers, specific information about related programming, and publications.
When submitting a proposal please Include both a one-year operating budget, and a project specific budget that includes direct costs such as payment for artists, production costs, and outreach. Please also include the 501c3 statement for your organization. Project Grant proposals will be reviewed twice a year with two deadlines, March 1 and Sept.
