OPEN CALL Artist Grants

Crafting the Future (CTF) provides emerging, mid-career, and established artists of color with funding that will plant their roots in the craft community and propel their careers.

For 2024, we are excited to offer two tiers of grants, Micro and Special Project Macro Grants.

Crafting the Future's Artist Micro Grants are $500 unrestricted grants to support BIPOC artists in covering artistic and living expenses as they pursue careers in the arts.

Crafting the Future's Special Project Macro Grants fund new and pre-existing projects, which support artists of color to access opportunities for art education, career expansion, networking, and personal development.

We are accepting applications from BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People Of Color)-identifying artists. This application opens on Monday April 15, 2024 and closes after 11:59pm May 15, 2024.
