Deadline: 9-Jun-21
The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) is currently accepting proposals for the Canadian Women Artists’ Award on Media & Design to provide financial support to emerging, female-identifying artists working in any discipline.
Categories
- Video/Film: This category accepts work in video or any work in which video or video techniques are pivotal, if not exclusive. This category also accepts work that has been initially shot with a film camera. Filmed material that has been transferred to the computer for editing and processing is acceptable.
- Experimental Sound: This category accepts submissions from composers working in any and all styles of music including vocal and instrumental artists, soundscapes, and experimental forms.
- Design: This category includes environmental design; the making of places, spaces, constructions, and landscapes; traditional and experimental forms of architecture (built or unbuilt); functional art and design objects; and/or work made for hire. NYFA recognizes that architecture is typically a collaborative process, but applicants should only submit work for which they are able to demonstrate they played the primary design role.
Funding Information
Grant range up to $5,000.
