FCA Emergency Grants COVID-19 Fund
Wednesday, November 4th, 2020We are writing with a reminder that Foundation for Contemporary Arts (FCA) continues to offer one-time $2,000 relief grants through the FCA Emergency Grants COVID-19 Fund. We hope you will share this resource with artists in your community who may benefit from this grant.
FCA is accepting applications from experimental artists who have lost income from an engagement that has been canceled or postponed due to COVID-19 any time after March 2020. Financial losses will be considered holistically (inclusive of various income sources). Artists can apply with opportunities that may not have been confirmed before being canceled or postponed (e.g. if you were in conversation with a presenter but dates were not set and a fee was not decided).
Artists who are interested in applying are encouraged to read the eligibility guidelines. The application is straightforward and is not intended to be time-intensive; it requires basic contact information and a few work samples.
Eligible artists who apply and are approved by the COVID-19 Fund bimonthly review panel will receive one-time $2,000 grants. Artists are only eligible to receive one grant through this program. The program will be open through December 31, 2020.
