The Virginia A. GrootFoundation: Sculpture Grants 2027

Days left12w leftJanuary 9, 2027

All Information

The Virginia A. Groot Foundation provides substantial financial support to artists working in ceramic sculpture and sculpture in diverse media. The grants are intended to help sculptors devote time and resources to developing their own artistic practice, strengthening their bodies of work and advancing their careers. This opportunity is for practising artists rather than students seeking tuition support. Applicants should prepare a strong portfolio that demonstrates the quality, direction and originality of their sculptural practice, and should confirm the current application-year instructions before submitting.
