Program | Trellis Art Fund The Trellis Art Fund provides financial support to artists who demonstrate a trajectory of excellence, regardless of career stage, age, education, location, or commercial representation.

For each award cycle, a percentage of our grants will be reserved for artists who are active caregivers. This designation recognizes the particular challenges faced by artists at these demanding stages of life. All applicants must be eligible to work in the United States.
