The Exhibition Assistance grant is available to artists who have confirmed upcoming exhibitions either locally, nationally or internationally. The program provides grants of $500 to $2,000 to assist individual artists with costs related to presenting their work in an exhibition.

Applications are assessed by the deadlines below. We continue to accept applications during the program break between March and May; they will be assessed after the October deadline. Those who apply for shows during the program break will receive funding retroactively should their applications be successful.
