art grants
Artist financial support
Art grants are financial awards given to artists, arts organizations, or creative projects, typically from foundations, government agencies, or cultural institutions.
Unlike loans, grants don't require repayment.
Artists apply for grants to fund specific works, residencies, or general practice: She received an art grant to complete her documentary.
