Cadre Artists' Grant

cadre Visual Artists' Grant
Applications now being accepted!
We're very excited to begin accepting applications for the first cadre art grant. Applications may be submitted September 1 through November 1, 2006.

To date we have collected more than $2000 for the first round of grants!!!!!

If you have made a donation, you are already eligible to apply; if you haven't yet, please make a donation ($10 is the minimum donation) to apply (see details below).

All applications must be sent to cadreartgrant@yahoo.com and must include:

· An artist’s statement (300-500 words; no c.v.'s, please!)

· A description of what you plan to do with the grant (300-500 words)

· Your estimated need for your particular project (you can ask for any amount up to the current total collected for the grants)

· A URL for a blog or website containing your work

All images must be submitted as a blog or website* (no attachments or mailed applications will be accepted) to eliminate the administrative costs of postage and paperwork and submission costs for the artist (no more slides!). Applications must include at least 5 but no more than 20 examples of work. All applicant URLs will be posted on the grant's website for viewing by donors and the selection committee (see details below).



* If you don’t already have a website or blog, you can set up a free blog at blogger.com (if you’re a PC user), a not-free blog at typepad.com (if you’re a Mac user), a free blog at WordPress.org (don’t know if it favors PC or Mac), or you can even simply set up a free photo page at flickr.com. We’re sure there are other options out there, too—look around!

2. Can I be automatically set up to make a monthly donation?

Yes! Click here to sign up for an automatic $10 per month payment plan.





3. Are donations tax deductible?

Not at this time. The reason checks are to be made out to one of us is that we have opted not to seek 501(c)(3) non-profit status at this time. It's time-consuming and involved, and for now, we wanted to keep it as simple as possible and to operate like a clearing house for donations—money in, money out. The only deductions being taken are fees for Paypal donations.





4. What kinds of art does the grant support?

This is a visual arts grant—works in all media are eligible. While we don't support traditional performing arts projects, we do support performance artists. You can always E-mail us if you have any questions.






Suggested Donation Amount: $10.00 USD
