Individual artists are the heart of a creative community. The CityArtist Projects program provides funding for artists to develop and present their work. The program focuses on different disciplines in alternating years. In 2010, we will accept applications from artists working in the performing arts for project funding in 2011.
Awards ranging up to $10,000 support new works, works-in-progress or finished works, and all projects include a public presentation. We encourage a broad range of artistic and cultural expression that reflects Seattle's diversity.
In 2010, 51 artists working in the visual, literary and media arts will receive $241,500 to support the development and presentation of original works. The awards span $1,500 to $10,000, with an average award of $4,735. The program received a record 189 applicants, a 12.5 percent increase in applications from the previous 2008 funding cycle for visual, literary and media arts. Twenty-nine of the 51 funded artist projects are first-time recipients, representing 57 percent of the awards.
In 2009, CityArtists awarded $225,000 to 39 artists working in the performing arts.
