INTERLACE GRANT FUND: INTERLACE EMERGENCY GRANTS

Interlace Emergency Grants are intended to mitigate the harmful effects of emergency situations and crises. These grants are meant to function as small interventions and expressions of support and solidarity with local visual artists. Emergency Grants are open to self-identifying visual artists whose primary residence is within a 10-mile radius of Providence and in the state of Rhode Island. We currently have two funders (The Warhol Foundation and the Rhode Island Foundation) that allow us to distribute a total of $1750 per month in grants of $100 - $500.   If applicants do not receive funding, they may re-apply. If applicants do receive funding but the amount is less than $500, they may re-apply as long as they do not receive more than $500 total during the grant period (August 2024 through August 2025).

ELIGIBILITY

In the spirit of generosity and compassion for fellow visual artists, applicants are encouraged to apply using the honor system: if you do not need this grant to mitigate the effects of an emergency situation, please consider forgoing an application to increase the chances for whom these grants would be most beneficial.  Grantees will be notified as close to the 7th of the month as possible and no later than the 21st of the month.
