GAP (Grants for Artist Projects) Program
The GAP Program provides 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. An inter-disciplinary panel of artists and arts professionals selected from around Washington State select GAP recipients. GAP applications are accepted each year at the end of February.
Artist Trust/Washington State Arts Commission Fellowship
The Fellowship Program awards $6,500 to practicing professional artists of exceptional talent and demonstrated ability. The Fellowship is a merit based, not a project based award. Artist Trust/Washington State Arts Commission 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 (2008). Music Arts, Media Arts, Literary Arts and Craft Arts are awarded in odd-numbered years (2009). A selection panel of three artists and arts professionals in each discipline select the Fellowship recipients. Fellowship applications are accepted biennially in June.
Twining Humber Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement
The Twining Humber Award offers a $10,000 award annually to a female, visual artist, over the age of 60 from Washington State. Eligible artists must be nominated and a selection panel of artists and arts professionals will select the recipients. Nomination forms are accepted each year in January.
