Innovate Grant awards two $1,800.00 grants each quarter — one to a Visual Artist and one to a Photographer — plus 18 honorable mentions (9 in art, 9 in photography) featured on the website. Eligible art disciplines include Painting, Printmaking, Drawing, Sculpture, Film/Video, Mixed Media, Installation, and New Media. Eligible photography genres include Portrait, Conceptual, Still Life, Black + White, Documentary, Street, Composite, and Collage. The application is intentionally streamlined — no artist statement, proposal, or letters of recommendation required. All applicants retain rights to submitted work. Winners and honorable mentions receive feature profiles, interview pages, and social media promotion to an Instagram audience of 73,000+ followers. Grant cycles run four times per year (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall).
