Get matched →Emergency Grants support the confirmed public presentation of completed experimental work through performances, exhibitions, screenings, poetry readings, installations, and more. Projects at artist-run and non-commercial spaces are, in most cases, eligible.
Artists should apply 8-10 weeks (no earlier than 10 weeks) before their project's public presentation date. Applications received within a shorter timeline will be reviewed, but applications received less than 6 weeks in advance may not receive a decision until the project is underway. Emergency Grants and Grants to Artists award recipients must observe a three-year (36-month) wait period before applying for another Emergency Grant. If multiple artists work collaboratively, the artist who received the invitation to present and/or is organizing the opportunity should submit the application.
Artists may apply for Emergency Grants to support expenses urgently needed to present their project publicly, such as artists' fees, airfare, accommodations, materials, shipping/transport, fabrication, and production. Emergency Grants do not support non-project-related life expenses (food, rent, medical bills, childcare), expenses paid prior to application, fees for residency or educational programs, or deposits/registration fees for participation in exhibitions or fairs.
