Eligibility Criteria
Any artistic group that has at least two consistent members and a history of creating together under the group name for at least one year prior to the application is considered a permanent group. 501(c)(3) organizations are NOT eligible. Individual artists working on collaborative projects are NOT eligible for the Group application. All members of the group must also meet the following requirements:
- Are professional, working artists (age 18 and older);
- Definition: individuals who devote a significant portion of their time to the creation of personal artwork. The professional artist is likely paid for performances, sells their artwork, or shares their independent body of work with the public on a regular basis. Individuals working in a creative industry primarily producing commercial work are not eligible. The artists should be focused on realizing their own creative or aesthetic ideas, rather than on documentation or journalism. The term “artist” applies broadly across disciplines, including performing, visual, literary, film, fashion and multi-disciplinary artists.
