Individual Support Grant - Mature Artists

The annual application deadline for the 2023 Individual Support Grant from the Gottlieb Foundation application is January 18, 2023.  The Foundation wishes to encourage artists who have dedicated their lives to developing their art, regardless of their level of commercial success.

Please note that these grants are available only to mature individual visual artists. The Foundation defines maturity in this case as having worked for 20 years or more in a mature phase of art.  Maturity is based on a high level of intellectual, technical, and creative proficiency that has been maintained over time. It is not based on an applicant’s age but rather on the development of and commitment to an artist’s work and its progress over time. We rely on the visuals included with the application to provide evidence that an artist has been producing mature work for at least 20 years.

This program was conceived in order to recognize and support the serious, fully-committed artist, and we hope these individuals will consider applying. Twenty grants are awarded each year. Applications are reviewed by a panel of five professionals in the arts who have no affiliation with the Foundation.
