Creative Capital Announces 2007 Grant Cycle in Visual Arts and Film/Video

March 4, 2007

Artists across the United States will have a chance to promote their works-in-progress and works-to-be when the nonprofit arts organization Creative Capital ( http://www.creative-capital.org/ ) accepts proposals for its 2007 grant cycle supporting projects in the visual arts and film/video.

For the first time, Creative Capital has appointed two outside teams of arts professionals to assist in the selection process, which could lead to as many as forty grants.

In keeping with the organization's multi-level commitment to its grantees, a total of at least $1 million is allocated for selected projects in the first year. In addition, over the term of the grant these projects receive follow-up support and can garner as much as $80,000 each in direct monies and services. Moreover, the grantees gain access to an extensive network of peers and arts professionals who can assist in fundraising, promotional, and presenting opportunities. This comprehensive approach to funding has become the hallmark of Creative Capital's work with artists.

To be eligible to apply, an artist must be a U.S. citizen or a permanent legal resident; at least 25 years old; and a working artist with at least five years of professional experience.

To apply, artists must first submit an inquiry form, which will be available February 5, 2007, on the foundation's Web site. The deadline for completed forms is March 5, 2007; those invited to submit an application with work samples will be notified in June 2007.

A complete list of grantees, profiles of funded projects, and up- to-date grant cycle information can be found online at the foundation's Web site.
