Artist Project’s COVID-19 Studio Relief Grant will be awarding one emerging contemporary artist in a visual arts field with a $1,000 Akin studio credit, along with a $1,000 honorarium to offset arts supplies and day-to-day costs.

The COVID-19 Studio Relief Grant was envisioned to provide an opportunity for an emerging contemporary artist who has been impacted by the pandemic to look forward to having a creative space among their peers unburdened by access, rental costs and supply costs. Artist Project is looking to support an emerging artist whose practice has been impacted by the COVID-19 health crisis; through loss of income, studio space, cancelled exhibition opportunities or delayed education opportunities.

The artist selected must be available for a filmed in-studio visit including an interview on their practice and process. The artist will receive promotion through Artist Project’s e-mail, website and social media marketing platforms.

Who may apply?

Artist Project’s COVID-19 Studio Relief Grant is open to emerging contemporary artists working in a visual arts field. For the purposes of this residency an emerging artist is defined as an artist who is currently attending or a recent graduate (3 years) of a visual arts education program, with no commercial gallery representation, and a modest exhibition history over the past 3 years.

There is no fee to apply, however applications will be limited to the first 200 entrants.

Deadline: Friday, May 15, 2020
