The Grant Process The Ruth and Harold Chenven Foundation gives annual awards of $1500 to individual artists living and working in the United States in support of a visual art or fine craft project. The Foundation does not accept film, video, performance art, or music submissions.
An independent jury of artists and art professionals will judge the submissions and make its recommendations to the Foundation Board of Directors for final approval. In 2022, a minimum of six (6) awards will be made. Previous grantees are not eligible for a second award.
Materials from the winning submissions will be retained by the Foundation and may be used for publicity purposes.
Announcement of Awards 2022 grantees will be notified by the end of October and their names will be publicized on this website and on our Facebook page in early November. Due to the large volume of applications, only the award recipients will receive an individual notification.
