The Working Artist Grant/Art Purchase Award is a meager one-time art award intended to disperse small but vitalizing bursts of funding to support an artist’s ongoing art making process.

The Working Artist Grant/Art Purchase Award is available to all domestic and international artists working in all traditional visual arts mediums, including but not limited to, conceptual, installation, drawing, painting, sculpture, glass, mixed media, photography, video, and new media. We regret that we do not accept submissions for music, performance or dance.

If selected as our winner, we ask that the award recipient be willing to trade one of their original works or smaller series of original works for inclusion into our collection, in exchange for our award. Please send us your best work for review. Work considered by the artist as of equal value, and available for acquisition can be negotiated upon receipt of the award. We do pay the artist’s shipping costs.
