2025 Emergency Grants Application
About This Opportunity
We recommend applying 8-10 weeks before your presentation date. We review applications received within a shorter timeframe, but please keep in mind that if your application is received less than 4 weeks in advance of your project’s presentation, you may not hear back from FCA until after the project is underway or even completed.
Restrictions
Applicants must be living in the United States or U.S. territories and have a U.S. Tax ID Number (SSN, EIN, ITIN, or other). Applicants must have committed performance or exhibition opportunities, and be able to provide specific dates at the time of application. Applicants must be individual artists, or an individual representing an artist collective, ensemble, or group. Curators, producers, workshop organizers, organizations, or arts presenters are not eligible to apply. If multiple artists are working collaboratively on a project, the artist who received the invitation to present work and/or who is organizing the presentation opportunity should submit the application. Artists enrolled in any degree-granting program or school are not eligible to apply. This includes high school, undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs.
What's Offered
Artists may apply for Emergency Grants to support expenses that are urgently needed to present their project to the public. These expenses may include artists’ fees, airfare, accommodations, materials, shipping/transport, fabrication, and production, among others.
