Grants for arts writers – Creative Capital and the Warhol Foundation
Deadline: May 15, 2013
Grants for published arts writers
The Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant Program supports writers whose work addresses contemporary visual art through project-based grants, ranging from USD3,000 to 50,000, issued directly to individual authors. The first programme of its type, it was founded in recognition of both the financially precarious situation of arts writers and their indispensable contribution to a vital artistic culture.
Description
The Arts Writers Grant Program aims to support the broad spectrum of writing on contemporary visual art, from general-audience criticism to academic scholarship. Writers who meet the programme’s eligibility requirements are invited to apply in the following categories:
- articles
- blogs
- books
- new and alternative media
- short-form writing
Requirements
To be eligible for a grant, writers must be
- an individual.
- an art historian, artist, critic, curator, journalist, or practitioner in an outside field who is strongly engaged with the contemporary visual arts.
- at least 25 years old.
- a published author. Please note that work published in college newspapers and undergraduate student-run publications will not be considered toward this requirement.
Who can apply
Due to legal constraints the programme can only fund US citizens, permanent residents of the United States and holders of O-1 visas. For guidelines and additional eligibility requirements, please visit www.artswriters.org/
