flash grants
A subset of Telluride Arts’ Artist Grants [TAAGs] program, Flash Grants operate on a quarterly basis, awarding five $250 grants per cycle. These grants are designed and awarded for artistic endeavours that are smaller in scale, provide clear community benefit and require limited monetary support towards project initiation, sustainment or completion. As with all TAAGs, community benefit is at the heart of the program and must be clearly outlined in the application.
Flash Grant applicants are limited to one submission per grant cycle. Multiple applications by the same artist will not be considered. Applications submitted after the quarterly deadline will not be considered.
All TAAGs are subject to blind reviews by a designated committees or juror panels. All personal details and obvious indicators of applicant identity are removed prior to review.
