$2500 New Project grant for visual artists based in Los Angeles
Prospect Art invites Los Angeles-based visual artists to participate in our NEW WORK Focus on Los Angeles initiative. This grant supports innovative projects aligned with contemporary themes, providing $2,500 to seven selected projects. Three grants are earmarked for web-based, new media, sound, or time-based works, while the remaining four are allocated to visual arts projects in different mediums. Please note that you can submit only one project in one category, and we will assist in categorizing it appropriately if needed.
Our primary aim with this commissioning grant is to provide a supportive space where professional visual artists can expand their creative horizons. We aspire to empower artists to push the boundaries of their creativity, embrace artistic risks, and embark on uncharted creative journeys. These projects should be self-contained and achievable within a 4-month timeframe and within the budget we provide. Your projects should be in the initial planning stages, and the NEW WORK grant will fully fund the development of your artwork.
This exceptional opportunity is open to both individual artists and collectives, with each project receiving financial backing to bring it to fruition. Moreover, 10-12 artists will be selected for virtual studio visits with our review committee. The selected projects, whether created by one artist or a collective, will have the opportunity to be featured in our ONE WORK or BROADCAST series upon completion, providing a platform for the community to engage with the art.
We welcome submissions from Los Angeles artists with established studio practices, regardless of career stage, provided they have lived in the city for at least 5 years. We prioritize innovative projects and require applicants to be professional artists at least 3 years out of graduate school.
Our selection process will engage a committee comprising 8 artists, writers, and curators based in Los Angeles. To promote inclusivity, we will invite a diverse array of members from the Los Angeles arts community to actively take part in the selection process. This approach empowers artists to act as gatekeepers, fostering a platform that amplifies a wider spectrum of voices.
To submit your proposal, please utilize the provided Google form on our website. The deadline for all submissions is October 22, 2023. Late entries will not be accepted, so we strongly urge you to submit your proposals on time.
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
