The Evolution Grant 2024

Art Fluent's grant cycle is open to individual artists through an international open call. The Evolution Grant provides unrestricted funding to an individual artist 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 grant cycle. Unrestricted funds may be applied toward any expense to enhance the artist's ability to create work. The opportunity is open to all fine art mediums including oil, acrylic, watermedia, pastel, drawing, printmaking, mixed media, photography, sculpture, fiber, wood, ceramics, and digital art. AI-generated work will not be accepted. 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.

Applications are due by Friday, June 21, 2024 at midnight MST. The application fee is $35 (non-refundable). Applicants must submit a body of work between 8-20 pieces, along with an artist statement and artist bio. All images must be in JPEG/JPG format, 1,200 pixels or greater on the longest side, with a maximum file size of 5 MB. Notification will be sent by email by Friday, July 18, 2024. 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.
