Jonathan and Barbara Silver Foundation – 2025 Grant for Sculpture (Due May 31)
Jonathan and Barbara Silver Foundation – 2025 Grant for Sculpture
Deadline: May 31st, 2025
In this grant program, the Jonathan and Barbara Silver Foundation’s goal is to encourage and support sculptors as well as writers on sculpture, both emerging and established.
The JBSF offers one $20,000 grant per year.
The JBSF grant program operates on a 2-year cycle with alternating grants that support writing in even years and sculpture in odd years. Applications are now open for the sculpture grant. The next writing grant application will be available in 2026.
Funds will go toward creating a work or a body of work that is essential to the artist’s development and a contribution to sculpture as a field.
The sculpture grant is specifically for an artist who demonstrates an exceptional commitment to sculpture that includes an informed and imaginative engagement with its materials, histories, and situation.
The writing grant is specifically for a writer who generates fresh writing and thinking on the history, aesthetics, purposes, imagination or situation of sculpture.
The grant recipient is expected to complete the project within one year of receiving the award.
