Artist Grant (formerly DRABL Artist Grant) is a yearly programme providing unrestricted financial support to artists worldwide.
For 2024, £10,000 will be distributed. Five £2000 grants will be awarded to five individuals, providing a financial boost to further their artistic practice. A panel of ten judges will decide the successful applicants by popular vote.
In its fourth iteration, Artist Grant is designed to have as few barriers to entry as possible: open to anyone who considers themselves as having a fine art practice. This includes but is not limited to: painters, sculptors, video artists, performance artists, installation artists, sound artists and photographers. Applicants need no formal training or education to apply. Factors of age, locality, gender and ethnicity will be considered to ensure equal opportunities.
Artist Grant 2024 has been made possible with kind support from:
Hauser & Wirth, Sadie Coles HQ, Sprüth Magers, Thaddaeus Ropac
& Lafayette Anticipations (Fonds de Dotation Famille Moulin)
Applications for the Artist Grant 2024 will be open for two weeks from December 9th to December 23rd (at 23:59) or until 1500 applications are received.
