Arts & Humanities Bainbridge is pleased to announce the 2024 Individual Artist Grant, aimed at supporting artists who live or practice on Bainbridge Island. This grant is designed to enable artists to pursue their creative practices, thereby contributing to the cultural life of the community. The grant provides financial assistance to facilitate the creation of new work by eligible artistic professionals. The maximum amount awarded per grant is $4,000, and applications are encouraged from emerging artists, including those who are high school age and older.
