Artist Trust recently published a pretty good  list of some upcoming grant opportunities for artists that I thought I would repost here for any interested artists. (It is by know means comprehensive, but a good starting point none the less).

Gallery4Culture issues an annual Call to Artists every December. A Selection Panel composed of prominent regional arts professionals and artists reviews exhibition proposals and awards eleven exhibition opportunities for the upcoming gallery season (September 2010 through August 2011). The composition of the Panel changes yearly. The Panel considers geographic and cultural diversity as well as a wide variety of genres and media; final selection is based on artistic excellence. An applicant’s images and statement must clearly convey their ability to execute the proposed exhibition. This is an online application only.

Deadline: January 11 – get to it!

The Foundation will consider need on the part of an applicant for all legitimate expenditures relating to his or her professional work and personal living, including medical expenses. The size and length of the grant is determined by the individual circumstances of the artist. Grants range from $1,000 to $30,000.

The Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant is designed to support writers whose work addresses contemporary visual art through project-based grants issued directly to individual authors. The first program of its type, it was founded in recognition of both the financially precarious situation of arts writers and their indispensable contribution to a vital artistic culture. The Arts Writers Grant Program issues awards for books, articles, short-form writing, and blogs/new and alternative media projects and aims to support the broad spectrum of writing on contemporary visual art, from general-audience criticism to academic scholarship.
