Sustainable Arts Foundation: 2012 Spring Awards for Artists and Writers with families

The Sustainable Arts Foundation is a non-profit foundation supporting individual artists and writers with families. Their mission is to provide financial awards to parents pursuing creative work. Specifically, the applicant must have at least one child under the age of 18 years of age. They welcome applicants from anywhere, but will give some preference to residents of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Too often, creative impulses are set aside to meet the wonderful, but pressing, demands of raising a family. The foundation's goal is to encourage parents to continue pursuing their creative passion, and to rekindle it in those who may have let it slide.

Awards:  Sustainable Arts Foundation Visual Arts Award: $6,000
Sustainable Arts Foundation Writing Award: $6,000

There will be multiple winners for each award.

Additionally, they will be awarding a number of smaller Promise Awards to those applicants whose work may not qualify for the main awards, but nonetheless demonstrates both skill and potential.

Disciplines: The foundation offers awards in two major categories: visual arts and writing. They encourage writers working in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry to apply. Visual artists practicing painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, film/video, and photography are encouraged to apply. At this time, they are not accepting applications in the performing arts or music.

They seek to reward excellence. Your portfolio will assist them greatly in evaluating your work which may, but need not, refer to your parenting. They are also interested in hearing what your plans are, and how this award might assist you in attaining your goals.

Deadline: March 1st, 2012
