The 2007 UAI deadline has passed. Stay Tuned for information about next year's program.

Asian American Arts Alliance and the Urban Artist Initiative/ NewYork City (UAI/NYC), announce the second application cycle of a new grants program for NYC individual artists of color. In the groundbreaking first cycle of the UAI/NYC grant program in 2006, 90 artist grants were awarded towards the development of artists’ projects in the range of $250 -$2,500 for a total of $125,000.

This Year, with major support provided by the JP Morgan Chase Foundation, this initiative marks the second year of a cross-discipline grant program developed specially for artists who self-identify their heritage as African, Latino, Asian, or Native American, embracing as well the diversity that exists within communities of color.  Fellowships of $2,000 each will be available to individual artists for their artistic and professional development. 50 artists were awarded for this year's cycle while 20 artists were nominated finalists.

UAI/NYC has been developed by a consortium including the Asian American ArtsAlliance, the Association of Hispanic Arts, the Harlem Arts Alliance, the Queens Council on the Arts, and the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, working in partnership with the New York Foundation for the Arts and the Bronx Council on the Arts.
