Grant Program

Art Matters Foundation assists artists who make work intending to break ground aesthetically and socially. Since 1985, the foundation has given over 2,000 grants to US artists for fellowships and collaborative projects all over the world. In 2020, the foundation expanded its vision of who is an artist, recognizing the culture workers that enrich the arts ecosystem through mutual aid, community engagement, and alternative support structures for artists.

Our current grant program, Artist2Artist, engages an internal regranting process, where awardees both receive and designate a grant. Offering fellowships of 7,500 USD to individuals and collectives, priority is given to artists and culture workers whose practices align with our mission.

Nominations for Artist2Artist are not open to the public and there are no applications.
