Grant Time’s up

The deadline for applying for an exhibition grant from Socrates Sculpture Park, located at 32-01 Vernon Boulevard in Long Island City is Monday, January 26, at 5 p.m.
Artists can apply for one or more of the following exhibition categories: Spring Exhibition, Emerging Artist Fellowship Program, Open Space or FLOAT.
This spring’s exhibition is entitled “State Fair,” will open on May 3 and remain on view until early August.
Emerging Artist Fellowships are awarded to artists who are not yet well established, are NYS residents and are in need of financial assistance. Recipients are granted $5,000, a two to six month residency in the outdoor studio, and access to facilities, materials, equipment and technical assistance to create a work for the annual Emerging Artist Fellowship Exhibition, opening in September.
Open Space program grants provide artists with funding, administrative and technical assistance, a one to six month residency in the outdoor studio, and access to facilities, materials and equipment to create a new work.
FLOAT is a biennial series of site-specific, temporary, interactive and ephemeral works that are installed, performed and screened throughout the Park. The series was launched in 2003 to address the environment of the Park, enabling participating artists to explore site-specific practice through a variety of media and formats.
The grant program is open to all artists, nationally and internationally, but housing and/or transportation are not provided. Artists living outside New York will have to make their own living and travel arrangements.
