Elizabeth Greenshields Stiftung Zuschuss

The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant is a prestigious award that supports young representational artists from around the world in the fields of painting, sculpture, printmaking, and drawing. The grant is awarded to artists who are between 18 and 41 years old for their first application, and former recipients may apply beyond age 41 if they meet all other eligibility criteria. Applicants must be students or emerging artists, and the grant is not intended for amateur or mature, established artists. The award is based solely on the quality of the submission, including a portfolio of artworks, a CV, and a statement of intent. The grant may be awarded up to three times in an artist’s lifetime, with the first-time award amounting to CAD 17,000 and subsequent awards of CAD 20,000 each.

The application process is free of charge and requires a portfolio, CV, and a brief statement. The deadline for the 2026 cycle is November 27, 2026. The foundation’s own website provides detailed guidelines and application forms.

This grant offers a substantial stipend to support the artist’s practice, but does not provide housing or travel support. It is a recurring annual call with a fixed deadline, and applications are accepted on a rolling basis until the deadline.
