Free Grant Funding for Artists, Writers, Musicians: GRANTS AND AWARDS FOR ARTISTS, POETS AND ALL THE ARTS

Dear Artists, Photographers, Screenwriters, Sculptors, Poets and All of You who Work With the Arts,

Sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks. We were getting ready to publish our new Grants for the Arts Book and it has taken a little time to gather more than 280 grants for next year.

Here is a dozen more grants and awards for some travel and good size awards. The first one is a very quick turnarounds, but I wanted to list them here just in case someone has something ready and that you can be thinking of this for the next grant cycle in summer of next year. And if the second listing is of interest, they will be posting the application on line next Monday, November 22. We've attempting to find projects with no entry fee, except in a few cases, where we thought you might still be interested.
