GAP (Grants for Artist Projects)
GAPs provide support for artist-generated projects, which can include (but are not limited to) the development, completion or presentation of new work. GAP awards are open to artists of all disciplines and offer a maximum of $1,500 for projects. A panel comprised of artists and arts professionals selected from around Washington State select GAP recipients. GAP applications will be available in May 2010.
Deadline: June 25, 2010

Note: Some print and online publications (such as Poets & Writers) printed our GAP deadline prior to our changing our deadline to June 25. The June 25 deadline is correct.

Fellowships
Fellowships award $7,500 to practicing professional artists of exceptional talent and demonstrated ability. The Fellowship is a merit based, not a project based award. Fellowships are awarded in two-year cycles. Emerging Fields & Cross-Disciplinary Arts, Performing Arts, Visual Arts and Traditional & Folk Arts are awarded in even-numbered years (2010). Music Arts, Media Arts, Literary Arts and Craft Arts are awarded in odd-numbered years (2011). A selection panel of three artists and arts professionals in each discipline select the Fellowship recipients.
Deadline: TBD Fall 2010
