Who Can Apply for Grants?
Our grants are open to Trans artists working in any creative discipline. Whether you're a photographer, painter, performer, architect, or digital artist, we welcome applications from creators at all career stages. We particularly encourage applications from emerging artists and those from underrepresented communities. The key criteria are the innovative nature of your project, its potential impact, and your commitment to advancing Trans representation in the arts.
The grant process begins with our open call for applications, which happens twice yearly. You'll need to submit a project proposal, portfolio of previous work, and budget outline. Our selection committee, composed of arts professionals and community leaders, reviews each application carefully. Beyond financial support, selected artists receive mentorship opportunities, exhibition space, and connection to our vibrant community of Trans creators.
