Nasher Artist Grants 2022

Nasher Sculpture Center Artist Grants are small-sum awards offered to North Texas artists to further their personal or professional development. The grant program is open to artists working in any media.

Eligible artists must be over 18 years of age and currently reside in North Texas (Dallas, Tarrant, Denton, Collin, Hunt, Rockwall, Kaufman, Navarro, Ellis, Johnson, Somervell, Erath, Palo Pinto, Hood, Parker, or Wise counties). Individual artists or artist collectives may apply once per calendar year; artist collectives must list all active members on their application. Nasher Sculpture Center employees and immediate family members of Nasher Sculpture Center staff or trustees are not eligible to apply.

Artists may apply for grants of $2,000 to be used directly on physical resources or endeavors that will further their artistic activity and practice. Proposed usage of funds may include studio rental, materials and equipment, travel for research purposes, or exhibition-related expenses. Applicants must submit a project description, proposed budget, and 3-5 images that may be artwork samples or images related to proposed use of funds. All submissions are subject to institutional review.
