2022 Spiritual Art Grant Opportunity

MOFSA seeks to support artists who have an existing body of spiritual art and potential for further growth but lack the means to evolve due to insufficient external support or finances.

One artist will be awarded a $10,000 grant, presented in conjunction with a virtual exhibit of the artist's work. The 2022 exhibit will be a permanent virtual presentation featuring the grant recipient's work, including a new work not previously shown elsewhere. Selected other artists who submit for the grant will share equally in $2,000 of additional awards. All artwork shown must be original.

Applicants must submit digital images of 5 pieces of work, an artist's statement addressing how art has changed you, the role of spirituality in your life, the role of art in transformation at personal and global levels, how you plan to develop your art as it reflects your ongoing spiritual journey, and your thoughts for the new work you want to create. Also required: artist bio, website link(s), and a $40 nonrefundable entry fee paid by credit card or PayPal. All images must be faithful to the original work; video and static images are acceptable. Excessive digital alterations are unacceptable. Open to all artists over 18 residing in the United States. All media accepted including oils, acrylics, pastels, watercolors, drawings, mixed media, fiber, and sculpture. Entry deadline: January 15, 2022. Selection notice: March 15, 2022. First day of exhibit: July 1, 2022.
