Art is important. It can help us understand the world around us, who we are, our connection to nature and to our fellow human beings. As an artist, you carry a significant responsibility to help guide the world during this moment in which we find ourselves. But in order to do that, you must find ways to further your career and get your work into the world. Here are some opportunities to do just that.
Forman Arts Initiative and Philadelphia Foundation invite applications to Art Works. In their own words:
“Four Philadelphia-based artists will be selected annually to receive two-year grants of $25,000 per year. Grants can be used freely by artists. Some artists may wish to use the grant to support the development of new work while others may use it to pay for living or studio expenses. Artists will be chosen based on how closely their work aligns with Art Works’ programmatic goals.”
