The Pollock-Krasner Foundation provides unrestricted financial resources to exceptional visual artists. The grants can be used in any way that allows an artist to meaningfully pursue their practice. Grants are typically used to create new work, acquire supplies, rent studio space, prepare for exhibitions, attend a residency, and offset living expenses.
The Foundation welcomes, throughout the year, applications from professional visual artists who are painters, sculptors, and/or artists who work on paper, including printmakers. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis—there are no deadlines. Grants are intended for a one-year period of time and the Foundation will review expenditures relating to an artist’s professional work and personal expenses. These unrestricted grants range up to $50,000 with the size of the grant determined by the individual circumstances of the artist. Professional exhibition history will be taken into consideration. Artists must be actively exhibiting their current work in professional artistic venues, such as gallery and museum spaces.
Requirements
Requirements for consideration are the application form, a cover letter, an artist statement, a current resume including an exhibition record, and ten digital images of current work with a corresponding identification list. All applications will be promptly acknowledged and considered. Please do not send application forms by mail, fax or e-mail. A crucial part of the application process is based on the Committee of Selection’s review of each artist’s images. The Foundation will only accept images completed within the past ten years. The Foundation urges artists to send the highest quality images of their work.
The Foundation does not accept commercial art, graphic art, video art, generative art, performance art, filmmaking, craft, or any work that primarily falls into these categories, as they do not fall within the funding guidelines. The Foundation does not have an open photography grant program. The Foundation does not make grants to students or fund academic study.
