How Will You Look Back On This Time?

Here we are at the threshold of year’s end and what a year it has been. Humanity as a whole has a lot to process from 2020 and artists are some of the best catalysts for understanding and healing. Art helps crystallize thoughts and emotions, gives form to those things we cannot necessarily articulate and offers up these pieces of the mind and heart for all to see. But to do this takes time and to have time means you must have a means of living. That’s where grants and funding come in. Read on for opportunities to receive funding for your work.

Eyebeam Center for the Future of Journalism offers funding to artists and artist-journalist teams producing innovative and revelatory work for major media outlets. The center is founded on the principle that artists are central in the invention and design of our shared future as well as critical in shifting public debate. Funds are intended for work related to journalistic projects such as research, travel or any other expenses a media outlet might not be able to cover. For more information, visit the website. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
