FY22 “Truth & Reconciliation”: Project Grants for Black and Brown Artists (US)


Deadline: 29-Oct-21

The ArtsWave has announced FY22 “Truth & Reconciliation”: Project Grants for Black and Brown Artists to provide financial support for Black and Brown artists in Cincinnati, and the region, to continue to explore the themes of their times.

Projects should use the arts to explore the theme of “Truth and Reconciliation” to build upon the current artistic commentary of health and race and connect it with historical events and visions of a more equitable future. Projects should connect with one or more goals as outlined in ArtsWave’s Blueprint for Collective Action:
to heal through education and accountability;
to deepen roots;
to bridge divides; or
to promote learning and understanding.
Projects should also involve some aspect of collaboration with neighborhood or community groups or partners. In this way, members of the Cincinnati region will engage with this major social justice moment and work towards realizing a more just and equitable present and future through the arts.
Funding Information
Grant awards will be made up to $15,000.
Proposed projects may be funded in part or in whole, and applicant should address in narrative if partial funding is not feasible to complete the proposed project. Seventy-five percent of the award will be paid when grant is awarded; the remaining 25% will be paid upon completion of an interim report due March 1, 2022.
