Prospect Art is looking for visual artists that require financial assistance to finish the production of new work. We are looking to support work by professional artists not currently enrolled in undergraduate or graduate programs. The New Work program provides a $1000 mini-grant twice a year to an individual artist or artists' collective. The grant is to help fund a project that is already in progress. The winter NEW WORK grant is focused on funding a project that is in its final stages of completion.
This program supports artists locally, nationally, and internationally. We are interested in conceptual based projects.
As a reference point, here's a list of established contemporary artists and specific works that we are interested in. Also please review our website to see projects in the ONE WORK and NEW WORK programs that we have supported in the past.
