Artists Relief Fund for Akron Artists

Call for Artists ; Grants

Posted: Aug 19, 2020

Akron Soul Train is grateful to Akron Community Foundation for a grant received from the Community Response Funds for Nonprofits. These funds are for the explicit purpose of providing emergency relief to those affected by COVID-19. Akron Soul Train is establishing an Akron Artists Relief Fund to issue micro-grants in the amount of $250-$500 to Akron’s most vulnerable artists in order to pay for food, utilities, medical supplies or any other basic need. The Coronavirus has caused the cancelation of arts exhibitions, festivals and performances, impacting the economic viability of Akron’s artists. In May, a national Artists Relief Fund experienced a flood of 50,000 applications, and out of the 11,000 artists who replied to its survey, 95% experienced lost income, 80% have no recovery plan and 66% cannot access resources to do work. Two-thirds of the nation’s artists have become unemployed yet artists of all disciplines have been using their practices to entertain and educate through social media. Akron Soul Train invites Akron artists to apply for funds by visiting their website at www.akronsoultrain.org/forartists and asks that you share the information with other artists and arts organizations. Artists from all art forms who relied on 33% or more of their income from their art practices and are experiencing financial distress are encouraged to apply. Applications will remain open until September 20, 2020.

Call for Artists ; Grants ; Miscellaneous : Request For Proposals (RFP)

Posted: Dec 28, 2019

The mission of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation is to aid, internationally, those individuals who have worked as artists over a significant period of time. The foundation’s dual criteria for grants are recognizable artistic merit and financial need, whether professional, personal, or both. The foundation welcomes, throughout the year, applications from visual artists who are painters, sculptors, and artists who work on paper, including printmakers. Applications are encouraged from artists who have genuine financial needs that are not necessarily catastrophic. Grants are intended for a one-year period of time and can be used by the applicant for all legitimate expenditures relating to his or her professional work and personal living (including medical) expenses. The size of the grant is determined by the individual circumstances of the artist. Professional exhibition history will be taken into consideration. Artists must be actively exhibiting their current work in a professional artistic venue such as a gallery or museum. The foundation does not accept applications from commercial artists, video artists, performance artists, filmmakers, crafts-makers, computer artists, or any artist whose work primarily falls into these categories. In addition, it does not make grants to students or for academic study or to pay for past debts, legal fees, the purchase of real estate, moves to other cities, personal travel, or to pay for the costs of installations, commissions, or projects ordered by others. For complete application guidelines and a list of previously supported artists, see the Pollock-Krasner Foundation website.

Posted: Dec 27, 2019

2020 Quarterly Application Deadlines January 1st | April 1st | July 1st | October 1st The Karma for Cara Foundation was established by 21-year-old Cara Becker and her family while Cara was being treated for leukemia. Created in Cara’s hospital room to support a couple of blood drives, the foundation today supports young citizen-leaders nationwide. To that end, the foundation is inviting applications for its micro-grant program, which is managed by the Living Classrooms Foundation, a Karma for Cara partner. Through the program, micro-grants of up to $1,000 will be awarded to students age 18 and under in support of service projects in their communities. The grants are intended to serve as a bridge between ideas and action, helping young citizen-leaders execute and magnify projects aimed at helping to repair the world. Examples of eligible projects include transforming a vacant lot into a community garden, rebuilding a school playground, or helping senior citizens winterize their homes. The foundation requests that projects involving an entire class or student group designate a maximum of three student leaders to be the main points of contact for the project. To be eligible, all students must be 18 years of age or younger. Application Guidelines 01. If you are applying on behalf of an entire class or student group, please designate a maximum of three student leaders to be the main points of contact for the project. We realize additional students may be involved, but having clear points of contact will make communication much easier. 02. Include numbers as best as you can. We want to know how many students will be involved in executing your project, how many people will benefit from your project, etc. Please note that more isn’t necessarily better. The numbers simply help us better understand the scope of your project. 03. While we understand the need for purchasing items to donate to others, your microgrant project should involve more than just purchasing items and donating them. Are you transforming the items you purchase into something else that can be used in a variety of ways? Are you bringing students together to pack/organize/make something out of what you purchase? 04. It is our intent that our grants fund the nuts & bolts of projects so we do not fund stipends, facility rentals, or transportation costs. 05. We notify applicants of decisions within six (6) weeks of each microgrant deadline. See the Karma for Cara website for compete program guidelines and application instructions.
