artist growth and development

The Artist Growth and Development grant program is designed to support practicing individual artists or collaborating artists residing in North Dakota. Two grants of $5,000 are awarded annually to artists for the creation of new artwork in the form of a year-long project or series that will enhance or expand their artistic skills.

Each proposal must include one (1) community component (such as a public performance, exhibition, reading, open workshop, or demonstration). NDCA encourages more community events if possible. Community events provide visibility for the artist’s work and promote meaningful engagement with audiences in North Dakota’s varied communities.
