Grants The Gottlieb Foundation Individual Support Grant
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: January 15, 2025 – The Foundation wishes to encourage artists who have dedicated their lives to developing their art, regardless of their level of commercial success to apply for this grant.
This program was conceived in order to recognize and support the serious, fully-committed artist, and we hope these individuals will consider applying. 20 grants are awarded each year. Applications are reviewed by a panel of five professionals in the arts who have no affiliation with the Foundation.
ELIGIBILITY
Individual Support Grants are available to painters, sculptors, and printmakers who have been engaged in a mature phase of their art for at least 20 years and who are currently in financial need. Financial need is based on household income. Please see below for definition of a mature phase of art.
The Foundation’s grant programs are open to both US-based and international artists. US citizenship or residency is not required.
The Foundation does not consider requests for funding educational purposes.
The Individual Support Grant may be used in any way an artist determines it will assist their career; however, the program is not intended as exhibition or project funding. Please do not submit budgets for specific projects.
Maturity
Successful applicants will be able to demonstrate that they have been working in a mature phase of their art for at least 20 years. Maturity is based on the level of intellectual, technical, and creative development maintained over this time period. Artists must show that their primary involvement has been with their artistic goals, regardless of other personal or financial responsibilities. Artists must work in the disciplines of painting, sculpture, or printmaking.
