Details:
SOLA (Support Old Lady Artists) Awards are four unrestricted awards of $3,000 given annually to Washington State female-identified visual artists, age 60 or over, who have dedicated 25 years or more to creating art. The SOLA Award seeks to encourage and celebrate womens’ achievements in the arts.
In 2022, SOLA has added another $3,000 award for an accomplished female-identified visual artist, 60 years and older with at least 25 years creating a body of work. This 4th SOLA Award will specifically honor a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) artist. This additional funding is part of an overall strategy by SOLA and Artist Trust to reverse historic inequities in arts funding programs, and move resources to Washington State communities with more limited access to other funding for individual artists.

- A female-identified visual artist; 60 years of age or older by June 20, 2022;
- Washington State residents at the time of application and payment;
