Artist Grant Opportunity
The Institute of Music for Children is pleased to announce the opening of a fund to support artists based in New Jersey!
The Professional and Creative Development Fund presents working artists age 18 and older with an exciting opportunity to start that creative project you've been planning for ages, to rent that studio that until now, has been out of reach, or to publish that manuscript that's been sitting on your desk. If you have an artistic project, professional development opportunity, or any other creative venture with unmet expenses, this fund is for you.
Eligibility and Guidelines
We welcome applications from working artists who are at least 18 years old and have lived in New Jersey for at least one year prior to applying.
Applicants to the Professional and Creative Development Fund will be asked to draft a project proposal, a creative statement, and a project budget. Artist narratives must be supplemented by representative samples of your artistic work.
The application will confirm applicant eligibility through basic demographic questions. Please review full application guidelines here:
