Jerome Foundation Travel and Study Grant for Artists in Minnesota and New York City

Jerome Foundation Travel and Study Grant for Artists in Minnesota and New York City

Deadline: February 13, 2008

The Jerome Foundation Travel and Study Grant Program awards
grants to emerging creative artists in Minnesota and New York
City. Funds support periods of travel for the purpose of study,
exploration, and growth.

The 2008 Travel and Study Grant Program will support artists
working in literature, film/video, and dance. (In 2009, artists
working in music, theater, and visual arts will be eligible to
apply.) In literature, writers of poetry, fiction, creative
nonfiction, and spoken word may apply. In film, film and video
directors may apply. And in dance, choreographers may apply.
Minnesota-based executive and program administrators working
for nonprofit arts organizations in literature, film/video, or
dance are also eligible to apply due to a specific contribution
for that category.

Applicants must live in Minnesota or one of the five boroughs of
New York City at the time of application and must have lived in
that location at least one year prior to the application
deadline.

Grants of up to $1,500 each will be awarded for short-term travel
of three to six days. Grants of up to $5,000 each will be awarded
for trips of one week or longer. The program is designed to
support individuals rather than organizations. Multiple-person
partnerships may apply on one application form if the monies
requested do not exceed $5,000.

information.
