Details:
Greater New Haven has long boasted an abundance of gifted artists who deserve the financial support to help them soar.
In 2024, The Bitsie Fund will award two $5,000 grants. One is designated for a Black artist. The second is open to all.
This Bitsie Clark Fund for Artists grant focuses on individual artists at a significant point in their personal development. Although impact on the community is a wonderful feature of any project, this grant is not about community development but about individual development. It will support individual artists seeking:
- to tackle a major goal in their artistic development,
- to take a risk on a new direction in their work, or
- to move their career as an artist forward.
The Bitsie Fund is a donor-advised fund housed at the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven. The artist must live in one of the towns served by the Foundation.
