PROJECT & PRESENTATION GRANTS

These $7,500 grants support projects presented by DC-area artists and collectives. Grant funds support ongoing or new projects that embrace unconventional or D.I.Y. values and will be presented publicly in the DC-area during the grant period (January–December 2026). Project & Presentation grants are intended to directly support artists presenting work in spaces beyond commercial galleries, museums, or established non-profit art spaces.

RESEARCH GRANTS

These $5,000 grants are for DC-area artists to further their practices through ideation, research, and experimentation. Grant funds compensate you for your intellectual labor, support payment for other artists and thinkers for their time and contributions, and other research-related expenses.
