National Endowment for the Arts Grants for Arts Projects
About this opportunity
The National Endowment for the Arts awards project-based grants across all artistic disciplines including Visual and Media Arts. While grants go to organisations rather than individuals, many funded projects directly support emerging artists through exhibitions, commissions, and residencies.
