Craft Innovation Jumpstarter - Society of Arts + Crafts (Due Nov. 25)
Craft Innovation Jumpstarter - Society of Arts + Crafts
Deadline: November 25th, 2024
Fee: $30
The Society of Arts + Crafts believes that the pursuit of craft necessitates a problem-solving mindset: craft makers are explorers, researchers, material risk takers and small business owners. They pursue new ideas and solutions for their work with a deep understanding of their materials and processes. Their imagination and desire for lifelong learning offer craft artists exciting opportunities for discovery and interdisciplinary innovation. When craft artists are ready to bring their solutions and innovations to the next stage, however, they often lack the necessary funds to make investments toward their new direction. The goal of the Society of Arts + Crafts is to assist artists to bridge this gap.
The Society of Arts + Crafts Jumpstarter program consists of four (4) grants of $3,000 each: two (2) in the summer and two (2) in the winter. The next deadline is Monday, November 25, 2024
The purpose of the grants is to support craft artists who reside in the United States to pursue new directions or advance new ideas in their work. The goal of increasing equity, inclusion and diversity in the craft field will be an important program focus.
