Donor Name: Vallejo Arts Fund
State: California
City: Vallejo
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 03/18/2023
Size of the Grant: $5,000 up to $10,000
Details:
The Artist Next Level Project Grants unrestricted grant supports Vallejo artist and culture bearers who live or are rooted in Vallejo for 5 years or more, and who are looking to expand their artistic opportunities on a “next level project”. This part of the fund is interested in supporting BIPOC artists to create a project that the artist and/or collective believes will take their artistic practice, skills, and/or visibility to a broader network, new collaborators, or new audiences.
There is $50,000 available in the Artist Next Level Project grant category. In the spirit of the fund, the Vallejo Arts Fund will make as many Artist Next Level Project grants as possible ranging from $5,000 to $10,000. Applicants who apply to the Artist Next Level Project grant may apply to any other grant category (Youth Arts; Arts Cultural Space; BIPOC-Centered Arts & Cultural Practice; Individual Microgrant) but may only receive up to two VAF grants.
VAF deeply appreciates the multifaceted aspects of arts and cultural practices. However, the VAF is currently not seeking applications for healing arts practices (i.e., massage therapists, reiki or acupuncture practitioners), nail artists, culinary artists, locticians, tattoo artists, yoga instructors, fitness/aerobics instructors, or makeup artists.
