Tri-Star Arts to award emergency artist grants
Statewide visual arts organization Tri-Star Arts will distribute emergency grants to Tennessee artists.
Its Current Art Fund will provide 60 $1,000 grants to Tennessee-based contemporary visual artists to help with financial burdens or hardships caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Tri-Star Arts will select the artists via lottery. Applications are due Dec. 1.
Artists will need to submit a website, curriculum vitae (CV), or proof of recent artistic activity, such as a link to a recent event they participated in. There is no application fee.
The fund will award COVID-19 grants this year only; afterwards the grants will be project-based.
Tri-Star Arts created the Current Art Fund as a partner in The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts’ Regional Re-granting Program.
