About This Call

Additionally, 12 honorable mentions (6 in art and 6 in photo) will be featured on the Innovate Grant website and join a growing community of artists. Innovate Grant's commitment extends beyond the grant cycle by promoting the work of selected winners and honorable mentions into the future.

Visual Artists and Photographers 18 years and older from all around the world are eligible to apply. All media and genres are accepted, and all applicants retain the right to the work they submit. The application process has been simplified so that artists and photographers can focus on their innovative work.
