Gottlieb Foundation Individual Support Grants

Deadline December 15, 2019

Website | Application

The Gottlieb Foundation is inviting applications for its 2020 Individual Support Grants. Through the program, grants of $25,000 will be awarded in support of painters, sculptors, and printmakers who have been creating mature art for at least twenty years and who are in current financial need. This program was conceived in order to recognize and support the serious, fully-committed artist, and we hope these individuals will consider applying. Twelve grants are awarded each year. Applications are reviewed by a panel of five professionals in the arts who have no affiliation with the Foundation.

The Foundation wishes to encourage artists who have dedicated their lives to developing their art, regardless of their level of commercial success. Please note that these grants are available only to mature individual visual artists. The Foundation defines maturity in this case as having worked for 20 years or more in a mature phase of art. The Gottlieb Foundation does not fund organizations, educational institutions, students, graphic artists, or those working in crafts. The disciplines of photography, film, video, or related forms are not eligible unless the work directly involves, or can be interpreted as, painting or sculpture.
