Developed by artists for artists, the I I I Artist Fund awards a $1000 grant to a recent US-based MFA graduate in Visual Art.

This grant is open to US-based recent MFA graduates in Visual Art. Candidates must demonstrate a research-based practice that responds to contemporary contexts. Multidisciplinary and conceptual artists working in mediums including, but not limited to, drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, textile, installation, performance, sound, and video are encouraged to apply.

The use of the grant funds is not restricted; we only ask that the recipient give a short artist talk within six months of receiving the award, which will be recorded and posted to I I I Artist Fund’s website.

The application cycle ends August 1, 2026, with grant monies awarded no later than September 30, 2026.
