Developed by artists for artists, the I I I Artist Fund awards a $1000 grant to a recent MFA graduate in Visual Art. This grant is available to an MFA graduate in Visual Art who graduated May 2025 or later. Candidates must demonstrate a strong research-based practice that responds to contemporary contexts. Multidisciplinary and conceptual artists working in mediums including, but not limited to, drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, textile, installation, performance, sound, video, and new media are encouraged to apply. The use of the grant funds is not restricted; we only ask that the recipient give a short artist talk within six months of receiving the award, which will be recorded and posted to I I I Artist Fund’s website.
