State Grant Opportunity for Emerging Visual Artists

NH State Council on the Arts is calling for applicants for the Clark Hulings Fund for Burgeoning Visual Artists, which helps early-stage professionals launch their career, in the spirit of master artist Clark Hulings.

The Fund considers proposals from professional artists who have secured tangible prospects for advancing their careers, but lack sufficient financial resources to capitalize on those opportunities. Examples include but are not limited to: the completion of work due to a gallery, museum, or private collection, the transportation of work or of the artist to an exhibition of that artist’s material, the management of logistical or technical requirements to realize a project, etc.

The Fund does not support performance, literary or commercial work.

The Fund aims to distribute its first award in November 2013. Beginning in 2014, two awards will be given per year, one in each category (1-painting, drawing and works on paper, and 2-sculpture). Grants will be given of up to $5,000, depending on the need stipulated in the request. Individuals who receive an award will not be eligible to apply again for five years.

Applications accepted: Sept. 1-30, 2013.
