皇后区艺术基金资助（2027）

The Queens Arts Fund (QAF), administered by the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA), offers two grant programs for the 2027 cycle: the Arts Access Grant for Queens‑based small‑budget 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations or unincorporated artist collectives, and the New Work Grant for individual artists, unincorporated collectives, or collaborations. Both grants support the creation of new work or community‑based public arts and cultural programs that engage the diverse neighborhoods of Queens. Applicants may request between $5,000 and $10,000; awarded amounts are determined by a peer‑review panel and will never be less than 50 % of the request. Applications open on 22 Sep 2026 at 10:00 AM ET and close on 17 Nov 2026 at 5:00 PM ET, with notifications in spring 2027. Eligible projects must include a public component in Queens during 2027 and may be presented in‑person, virtually, or both. Eligibility requires a Queens address, a lead applicant aged 18 or older, and for organizations, a 501(c)(3) status, a budget under $100,000, and at least one year of operation. Full‑time students are ineligible, and applicants may submit only one application per year. The program does not provide housing or travel support, but offers grant funding, mentorship through the panel, and a modest honorarium for panelists. Applications are submitted via Submittable, and detailed guidelines and PDFs are available on the NYFA website.
