Wherewithal Grants deadline was Nov. 14th

The application portal for the next cycle of Wherewithal Grants is now open for DC-area artists and collectives. You can apply for either a $5,000 Research Grant or a $5,000 Project Grant depending on which grant best supports your practice at this time.

Research Grant funds compensate you for your intellectual labor and idea development, to pay other artists and thinkers for their time and contributions, and for other research-related expenses.

Project Grant funds support ongoing or new artist-organized projects that are presented publicly either in unconventional or D.I.Y. artist-run spaces in the DC-area or virtually during the grant period. Projects cannot take place in established commercial galleries, museums, or non-profit art spaces. 

The application deadline is Monday, November 14, 2022 at 11:59 pm EST.

Applications will be reviewed by an independent panel of artists and arts professionals with up to 12 grants total awarded. The grant period is from January–December 2023.
