A. Kraehe (Fine Arts, competitive resubmission)

The NEA is committed to supporting excellent arts projects for the benefit of all Americans. Grants for Arts Projects (GAP) provides funding for public engagement with the arts and arts education, for the integration of the arts with strategies promoting the health and well-being of people and communities, and for the improvement of overall capacity and capabilities within the arts sector. We welcome applications from first-time and returning applicants; from organizations serving rural, urban, suburban, and tribal communities of all sizes; and from organizations with small, medium, or large operating budgets.

We fund arts projects in the following disciplines: Artist Communities, Arts Education, Dance, Design, Film & Media Arts, Folk & Traditional Arts, Literary Arts, Local Arts Agencies, Museums, Music, Musical Theater, Opera, Presenting & Multidisciplinary Works, Theater, and Visual Arts.

Updated Eligibility Criteria

Organizations may no longer submit applications in the same fiscal year for both Grants for Arts Projects and Our Town funding categories (a separate application in the Research Awards category is allowable). Please carefully review the application limits section of the guidelines.

 

The University of Arizona is ineligible to apply due to new combined institutional limit of one submission to Our Town or Grants for Art Projects (GAP) and a competitive resubmission to GAP.

O. Miller (Museum of Art) 

The American Art Program supports scholarly loan exhibitions that contribute significantly to the study and understanding of art of the United States, including all facets of Native American art. These grants advance the Program’s efforts to empower art museums to reconsider accepted histories, amplify the voices and experiences of underrepresented artists and cultures, and facilitate important dialogue with diverse collaborators and communities.

Program Requirements and Guidelines

• Concept Notes must be submitted online by the originating institution and not by a participating-venue institution. (Letters are not accepted from individuals.)
• Art of the United States, including Native American art, should constitute significantly more than half of the checklist.
• The organizing institution’s permanent collection should not constitute more than half of the exhibition checklist.
• A single, privately held collection should constitute no more than half of the exhibition checklist.
• The holdings of a single commercial dealer should constitute no more than half of the exhibition checklist.
• The proposed exhibition should not open before March of the year following your application submission.
• Museums outside of the United States may submit appropriate projects for consideration only if they have proof of valid non-profit status provided by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
• Only one exhibition per year can be submitted per institution.
