Sustainable Arts Foundation 2021 Awards*
Category
Application Deadline
Information
We’re pleased to announce that we will soon be accepting applications for our 2021 individual award program.
We will make awards of $5,000 each to twenty artists and writers with children. Additionally, we will name twenty finalists.
At least half of our awards will go to applicants of color.
Artists and writers with at least one child under the age of 18 and a strong portfolio of polished work are welcome to apply.
We are inspired by anyone who is making creative work while raising a family. Given the intense demand for these awards (we typically receive 2,000-3,000 applications), and the fact that the awards are based on demonstrated excellence in your discipline, we don’t recommend that artists or writers who are beginning their creative careers apply to this program.
How to apply
Changes for 2021
In order to simplify the process for our applicants, we no longer request a biography or statement of future plans. The only essay response in the application is the artist statement. This aligns with our goal of keeping our review process focused on the portfolio.
Details and complete instructions are available now on our website for your review; the application link will be active on February 1st.
