Leeway x IPMF Media Artist + Activist Residency Grant Program

Deadline: 27-Sep-21

The Leeway Foundation is seeking applications for its Leeway x IPMF Media Artist + Activist Residency Grant Program to provide grants to women, trans, and gender nonconforming media artists working in close collaboration with social justice/cultural organizations to document, reframe, and/or amplify the issues and campaigns addressed by the organization.

The residency aims to reveal and extend the ways that artists and artistic processes can work within cultural and social justice organizations to achieve social change. Artists and organizations will apply collaboratively with proposals for a project that embeds the artist in the work of the organization for one year.
