Frequently asked questions
Who funds artist grants?+
Arts councils, community foundations, museums, and private philanthropies. Programs on this page range from small project stipends to five-figure fellowships, and many fund specific disciplines — photography, illustration, craft, public art — or specific communities.
Do artist grants require gallery representation or an exhibition record?+
Most don't. Typical applications ask for a portfolio of recent work, an artist statement, and a project description. Emerging-artist programs explicitly welcome applicants without institutional history — each listing's eligibility section says who it's for.
Where do these opportunity listings come from?+
Opportunities are aggregated daily from publishers' and organizations' own submission pages and portals, plus curated editorial sources. Every listing is checked for real pay or a real award — explicitly unpaid calls are filtered out, and contests whose entry fee outweighs any stated prize are rejected automatically.
Why is the organization name hidden on some listings?+
Browsing titles, deadlines, award amounts, and entry fees is free. The hosting organization and direct submission link are unlocked with a paid CozyJobs membership — that curation is what the subscription funds. Plans start at $25/month; see cozyjobs.com/pricing.
How often are these pages updated?+
Continuously. New opportunities are ingested throughout the day, deadlines are monitored, and listings are removed automatically when their submission window closes.
