INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS PROGRAM OVERVIEW – Opens December 6, 2013/Closes January 13, 2014 5PM CST
The goal of the Individual Artists Program (IAP) is to discover, nurture and expand Chicago’s practicing artists and creative professionals. Through this grant program, DCASE will award project grants to Chicago-based artists and creative professionals over 18 years of age, at all career levels (emerging, mid-career, mature), and working across numerous disciplines. We will support those working in both the traditional fine arts as well as the for-profit creative industries. Grant sizes typically range from $2,000-$5,000. The Individual Artists Program encompasses support through two different Funding Categories:
• Creation of Artistic Work – Provides project support for practicing artists and creative professionals to develop or create artistic work.
• Professional Development – Supports professional development opportunities, projects and programs related to the career of a practicing artist or creative professional.
