Artist Grants & Fellowships

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.

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.

Opportunities are aggregated daily from publishers' and organizations' own submission pages and portals, plus curated editorial sources. Filters remove explicitly unpaid calls and automatically reject contests whose entry fee outweighs any stated prize, and our curators investigate listings readers report. We can't verify every organization, so confirm the details on the organizer's own page before you apply or pay an entry fee.

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.

Continuously. New opportunities are ingested throughout the day, deadlines are monitored, and listings are removed automatically when their submission window closes.
