The Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant accepts applications from artists year-round for grants up to $50,000. These grants enable artists to create new work, purchase needed materials and pay for studio rent, as well as their personal expenses.

Artists and Grant writers Elana Mann and Virginia Broersma will be giving a workshop on the application process: walking attendees through the components and giving tips for applying to this grant. We’ll share examples from successful applicants and our own experiences applying for the grant and working as grant writers.

Are you interested in the Pollock-Krasner? Yes, please!

Please note that only painters, sculptors and artists who work on paper (including printmakers) are eligible.
