Artistic Production grants fund the production and exhibition of new artistic commissions. Often exhibited beyond museum walls in public space, these commissions feature high levels of thought leadership, artistic production, and public engagement. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $100,000 (can be lower than $25,000) per project, with grants at the upper levels of funding reserved for permanent or long-term installations, or newly commissioned works that may be gifted to a U.S. public collection.
