The Juneau Community Foundation strives to help create and maintain dynamic and accessible arts and culture opportunities in Juneau for years to come. Since 2020, the Arts Vibrancy Endowment’s Individual Artist Award program has provided over $115,000 directly to artists, pursuing a variety of artistic mediums, to support their work. We are pleased to announce the 2024 application period is now open.
The Foundation is pleased to offer four awards at $2,500 each and one $5,000 award. All art forms and idioms including, but not limited to, visual arts, dance, music, fabric arts, photography, theater, and literary arts are eligible for funding from the Individual Artist Award.
“Since moving here in 1978, I have witnessed some great artistic creations in this community,” noted Sandro Lane, Arts Vibrancy Endowment board leader. “A long-term Arts Vibrancy Endowment that can foster Juneau’s dynamic arts culture for generations has been a dream of mine. I am thrilled that we are already providing funding from the endowment to make the Individual Artist Awards possible.”
Eligibility information and an application for Individual Artist Awards can be found here.
The deadline to apply is Thursday, August 15, 2024, by 5:00 p.m.
