Grant Program

Art Matters considers applications by invitation only. Through our current program, Art Matters provides 7,500 USD fellowships to individual artists and collective teams working in contemporary art and performance. Priority is given to artists working with social issues and experimenting with form.

Our funds can be used for any and all aspects of artistic practice – from early research and development of ideas, to travel costs, to production and presentation expenses, to day-to-day material or space needs.
