Silica is a grants program I started to offer belief & capital to support ideas, and the people behind them.
Offering
No-strings-attached $3000 grant, distributed over 3 months.
Focus
Artists based in New York City.
Process
Work on a self-directed project. Receive $1000 at the start of each month. At the end, I’ll interview you about your practice.
Structure
12 artists will be selected across 4 cohorts. Currently accepting applications for Cohort 3 (July - Sep).
Reasoning
I believe creating a modern patronage movement starts with supporting artists with grants from individuals, not institutions.
Inquires
Submit an application and I'll get back to you if there's a good fit.
