About A Blade of Grass - Fields Funds
Opportunity Details
Field Funds supports both the public components of a project and the often unseen work that makes collaborative creative practice possible, such as research and relationship building. This program supports specific needs common to socially engaged art including artist-led gatherings, accessibility & translation, and documentation & archiving.
Benefits of A Blade of Grass - Fields Funds
- Each year, A Blade of Grass distributes $25,000 to artists and creative practitioners working throughout the country with 50 grants of $500 each.
A Blade of Grass - Fields Funds Requirements
To be eligible to apply for this opportunity, practitioners must:
- Be currently located in the United States and able to receive taxable income.
- Propose a use for $500 that supports your eligible creative practice and fits the open call’s theme.
- Be an individual artist or collaborative with a demonstrated history of creating socially engaged art.* (Field Funds does not accept applications from nonprofit organizations or commercial businesses.)
Field Funds uses the terms artist and socially engaged art, but we understand that not all practitioners identify with the same language. Regardless of how they describe their work, eligible applicants will be able to show in their application that their practice:
- Applies creative strategies and interventions that make society more just, kind, safe, and free.
- Involves and builds relationships with communities and collaborators in meaningful ways.
- Employs processes and skills beyond those used in creating studio artwork or traditional performance—including advocacy, dialogue, facilitation, organizing, and research.
