artist creative practice grants
South Arts recognizes the importance of professional development in building artists’ careers. Even with stipends or payments, overall expenses can make participating in these opportunities inaccessible. South Arts offers Artist Creative Practice Grants (formerly Individual Artist Career Opportunity Grants) to ensure that artists from our region can take advantage of a variety of career enhancing opportunities.
The Artist Creative Practice Grant supports a variety of professional development opportunities including milestone activities in an artist's career that will likely lead to substantial career growth.
Grants up to $3,000 are available for opportunities taking place between November 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026.
South Arts is committed to ensuring that all artists in the region regardless of background or economic status are provided with an opportunity to apply.
