Just a friendly reminder that the Creative Capital Award Application closes in less than two weeks! Be sure to submit your application in Emerging Fields, Literature or Performing Arts by Monday, March 2 at 4:00pm EST. We will not accept late submissions.
Still have questions about the application? Join us for our final Online Info Session this Thursday! Creative Capital’s President and Executive Director Ruby Lerner will lead the event and answer questions about Creative Capital’s application process and the work we seek to support. Creative Capital Awardees Sam Van Aken (2009 Emerging Fields) and Kenny Fries (2009 Literature) will also join the session as special guests to provide first-hand knowledge and advice on navigating our award process.
 
We will send an email to registrants a few days before each event with information on how to access each session; however, you can also visit our Google+ Page to view all online events.

Creative Capital provides integrated financial and advisory support to artists pursuing adventurous projects in all creative disciplines. In February 2015, Creative Capital will be considering proposals in Performing Arts, Emerging Fields and Literature. For in-depth information on Creative Capital and the artists we support, visit creative-capital.org.


Creative Capital is one of the only national organizations that awards grants to individual artists through an open call application process.

 

We take chances to support ideas that are bold, innovative and genre-stretching, that articulate an original vision and have the potential for great impact.

 

Our individualized approach surrounds artists with the financial and advisory resources they need to realize their artistic visions and build sustainable careers.

 

We make a commitment to work with each artist over a three- to seven-year period that involves a high level of engagement between Creative Capital and the artist.

“I really think Creative Capital is the pinnacle of artist resource organizations. It’s hard to imagine it being any more perfect.”  – Steve Rowell (2013 Emerging Fields Awardee)
