Foundation Grant · Open Now
No jury. No essay. Equal chance for everyone. Winner contacted by May 28, 2026.
Most grants require essays, jury panels, portfolios, and a level of access that not every artist has. The Foundation Grant was designed to be different from the start.
It exists because artwOOrk's commitment to artists is not a feature, it is the foundation the entire platform is built on. Financial tools, professional infrastructure, and direct monetary support are not separate offerings. They are three parts of the same promise: that working artists deserve better than the industry has given them, and that this platform will spend every quarter proving it.
Every quarter, $250 goes directly to one artist in the artwOOrk community. No jury. No essay. No competition between peers. Equal chance for everyone who shows up.
Whether you win the grant or not, joining artwOOrk gives you something the industry never has, the infrastructure to run your practice like the business it is.
