Congratulations to our new 2022 class of grant winners!
Founded in 2019, the NOT REAL ART Grant for Artists is a $12,000 annual award designed to empower the practice of 6 contemporary artists, each of whom receive $2,000. But, NOT REAL ART Grant winners get more than money. Each recipient gets to share their story and promote with exclusive, in-depth featured interviews on the NOT REAL ART podcast and blog. And, each winner will be included in future blog stories, newsletters and our artist marketing database!
