project grants

Big Field Fund Project Grants award $8000 to support the public realization of connective, collaborative, and/or experimental artist-led projects that fulfill one or more of the following focus areas:

• projects that manifest new and inventive models to present/nurture/deploy visuals arts in Iowa

• projects that support under-resourced artists and creative communities

• projects that engage with vulnerable or underutilized resources, structures, systems, or ecologies

• projects that would likely not otherwise be eligible for financial support due to their multidisciplinary, ephemeral, or risk-taking nature
