Prospect Art is seeking Los Angeles-based visual artists for the New Work series. We are looking for existing or new work by professional artists not currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program. Priority is given to artists not represented by a commercial gallery in Los Angeles. We are looking to feature artists/or collectives currently living in Los Angeles who don’t have an outlet for their work. The city has a large population of visual artists and a lack of not-for-profit support for process-based works. We will provide ONE ARTIST or ONE COLLECTIVE with the financial backing to finish a not previously exhibited work. Artists that make it to the final review round will qualify for studio visits with Prospect Art founders and will be featured on the website as finalists. We are looking for Los Angeles-based artists with established studio practices who have lived in the city for at least 5 years. Projects that are usually not well represented in commercial galleries will be prioritized.

Please prepare the following:

• Contact information (including telephone number), Name, Email, Social media handles, website
• If a collective is applying, provide collective name and a contact person
• Description of the work you are seeking funds for (500 words or less)
• Images of work and/or sketches (3-5 images, 10mb max size)
• Website URL with examples of past work and/or video links for time-based samples
• Artist statement (200 words or less)
• A 500-word CV or bio to be pasted into the Google form.
