AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Creative Capital is now accepting online Letters of Inquiry for grants in Film/Video and Visual Arts. The Inquiry Form will be open until March 1. Visit creative-capital.org/apply to read the grant guidelines and access the Inquiry Form.

Creative Capital provides integrated financial and advisory support to artists pursuing innovative and adventurous projects. Acting as a catalyst for the development of exceptional and imaginative ideas, we support artists whose work is provocative, timely and relevant; who are deeply engaged with their artforms and demonstrate a rigorous commitment to their craft, yet are also boldly original and push the boundaries of their genre; who create work that carries the potential to reshape the cultural landscape.

About the Application Process
To be eligible to apply, an artist must be:
• A U.S. citizen or permanent legal resident
• At least 25 years old
• A working artist with at least five years of professional experience
• Not a full-time student

To apply for a Creative Capital grant, an artist must first submit an online Inquiry Form regarding his or her project. The Inquiry Form for Film/Video and Visual Arts is now available at creative-capital.org/apply. Inquiry Forms must be submitted by March 1, 2011 at 4:00pm EST. After the Inquiry phase, selected applicants will advance through two further application phases during the year, and grantees will be announced in January 2012. The Inquiry Form will reopen in February 2012 for Emerging Fields, Innovative Literature and Performing Arts.

Applicants are welcome to attend an in-person or online information session to learn more about the process. Visit creative-capital.org/infosessions for details and to RSVP.
