AZ Women for the Arts Announces Its Inaugural Grant Opportunity!
Two $1,500 grants will be awarded
The mission of AZ Women for the Arts (AZWA) is to foster the growth of Arizona's women artists. To that end, AZWA’s artist grant portal will open for the very first time on June, 1, 2023. All women artists, who are 18 years of age or older and legal residents of the state of Arizona, are encouraged to apply. Their artwork can fall into any artistic medium: fine art, public art, dance, music, literature, photography, etc.
This is not a juried show. Rather the grants will be determined by a clearly articulated mission and description of the scope of the individual’s work, its potential impact on the community, and the way in which the AZWA grant will support their work. The project can be in any phase of development. Potential uses of the grant funds might be project supplies, educational opportunities, exhibition expenses, or any other need the applicant fully describes. A selection committee will review the grant applications after the grant portal closes on July 31, 2023. Grantees will be announced in September.
AZWA is spreading the word about its inaugural grants via art organizations, art schools, and the media at large. Please feel free to share this press release with all your contacts.
