Grants Virginia A. Groot Foundation Grant
Opportunity Description
U.S. National Deadline: February 1, 2025 – The Virginia A. Groot Foundation Grant was established so that ceramic sculpture artists or sculptors of diverse mediums may have the opportunity to devote a substantial period of time to the development of his or her own work.
For more than 30 years, our foundation has supported artists in launching their body of work, furthering their artistic careers, expanding their talent or skill set, and create a community of like-minded individuals that offer each other inspiration and motivation to realize their ultimate potential.
Annually, we offer three grant tiers:
— $60,000 First Place
— $30,000 Second Place
— $20,000 Third Place
The freedom of sculptural storytelling should not be limited by expenses, and that’s why the foundation aims to financially support artist expenses to live, travel, and create. Our grant winners’ work is honored to those who express features redolent to genuine passion, an unrelenting energy to the craft, dynamism of disciplinary delivery, and transcendence of form.
