This one’s a doozy, folks. The Creative Capital Foundation offers grants for visual artists and video / film artists, and on average awards $25,000 to each grantee. The most they have awarded a single applicant is $50,000. In addition to the financial support, however, they offer workshops and advice on how to advance your career:

The Creative Capital Professional Development Program (PDP) was launched in 2003 to offer the career-building component of Creative Capital’s Artist Services Program to a broader community of artists. The program is designed to help empower artists to better manage their professional paths by providing them with the training and tools they need to thrive in the marketplace.

To apply for this grant, you must submit an inquiry between February 5 and March 5. You must be at least 25 years old, a U.S. citizen (or permanent resident), and a working artist with at least 5 years professional experience.

Go get ‘em tiger!
