The Anonymous Was A Woman Environmental Art Grant supports projects led by women-identifying artists in the United States and U.S. Territories. Started in 2022, the grant provides up to $20,000 for environmental art projects that inspire thought, action, and ethical engagement. Projects should engage an environmental issue at some scale and illustrate thorough consideration of ecological and social ethics. Projects exploring interdependence, relationships, and systems through Indigenous and ancestral practices are encouraged.

Environmental art projects may focus on: regeneration, eco-social engagement, decarbonization as decolonization, ecofeminism, climate change/climate collapse, systems restoration, interspecies relationships, natural or built systems, recycling and repurposing, or clean energy production.

Selected projects must benefit the public and are required to have a public engagement component within one year after receiving the grant. The component must be free to attend, open to the general public, and must add value to the public sphere rather than solely benefiting the artist's private gain. Online events are acceptable as long as they are attended by a live audience.

Applications are accepted online only via apply.nyfa.org/submit. Application guidelines and FAQs are available on the NYFA dedicated site.
