The Evolution Grant 2023

Art Fluent's Evolution Grant is an international open call providing unrestricted funding to individual artists with recognized artistic excellence in fine art media and a demonstrated commitment to their art. The grant awards $1,000 to one visual artist each cycle, with unrestricted funds that can be applied toward any expense to enhance the artist's ability to create work.

The grant is open to all fine art mediums including oil, acrylic, watermedia, pastel, drawing, printmaking, mixed media, photography, sculpture, fiber, wood, ceramics, digital art, film, and video. There is no restriction on style, genre, or subject matter. Work that is copied or done under the guidance of an instructor is not eligible. Applicants must submit a body of work between 8-20 pieces, along with an artist statement and artist bio. Applications are reviewed and scored based on the body of work submitted. The entry fee is $35 (non-refundable). Applications are due by Friday, June 2, 2023 at midnight MST. Notification will be sent by email by Friday, July 7, 2023. This call is open to artists worldwide, both amateur and professional. Once an artist is awarded an Evolution Grant, they will not be eligible to apply again.
