About this Workshop
Join the Artist Trust Program Co-Director, Luther Hughes and Tacoma Art Museum’s, Artist Awards Manager, Victoria Miles, for an overview of applying for artist grants. During this hour-long workshop you’ll learn about Artist Trust, our Fellowship Awards, explore funding opportunities available for your work, and hear tips to make your next application. We hope to see you in person for snacks, refreshments, and information sharing about applying for grants.
This in-person workshop is open to all artists who identify as Black, African, and/or African American at all career stages looking to learn more about applying for grants. This workshop is presented in partnership with The Current, An Artist Award at Tacoma Art Museum.

About The Current
The Current is an annual, unrestricted award providing financial and institutional support to a Black artist living and working in the Tacoma area. In recognition of artistic excellence and future promise, the awardee will receive a $15,000 unrestricted gift. Additionally, the awardee has the option of receiving various forms of support from the institution: whether that be career and artistry support or designing a program — all would include the full support of the Museum’s facilities, staff expertise, and labor. This dual investment champions the awardee directly and proliferates resources for the artist’s community, providing resources and strengthening networks that make creating art easier for Black artists.
