1. [NEW] The Creative Catalyst Fellowship - For Artists
This yearlong program supports individual artists whose work engages the public on critical issues facing Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) and can catalyze civic participation. Selected artists join a cohort for peer sharing and learning, with access to communications consultation and support promoting their final work. Up to eight artists will each receive $30,000 to produce work that can reach broader audiences and spark conversation around this year’s theme: Belonging.
Deadline: October 15, 2026
