Individual Artist Grants<\/a>, designed to support practicing and professional artists across all mediums and artistic disciplines, officials said.<\/p>\nApplications for grants will be accepted until Friday, Feb. 27 at 5 p.m., officials added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The grant will provide non-project-related funding to grantees. The award period will be from March 1 to Sept. 30 2026, and expenditures of the grant should happen during this timeframe.<\/p>\n
To be eligible for the grant, you must be 18 years of age and also must be a working, practicing and professional artist, meaning that you must have been “creating work consistently within at least the past 12 months,” the city said. In addition, you must live or work in St. Pete and continue doing so after the grant award period.<\/p>\n
“Grants like this don’t just fund art, they nurture community, creativity, and hope,” Jenipher Chandley said. Chandley is a St. Pete artist and past grant recipient. “Grants like this truly make it possible for meaningful work to happen and for creative voices to keep growing. I hope my words help inspire continued support for programs that nurture artists and the cultural life of our city.”<\/p>\n
The city offered a definition for this grant, saying that “artist” is “an individual who has created a recognized body of original work over a sustained period, pursues this work as a means of livelihood or in conjunction with other employment, and demonstrates a commitment to creative expression, cultural enrichment, or public engagement that contributes to the cultural life of the community.”<\/p>\n
