GAP (Grants for Artist Projects)
GAPs provide support for artist-generated projects, which can include (but are not limited to) the development, completion or presentation of new work. GAP awards are open to artists of all disciplines and offer a maximum of $1,500 for projects. A panel comprised of artists and arts professionals selected from around Washington State select GAP recipients. GAP applications are available early December.
Deadline: June 25th, 2010

Fellowships award $7,500 to practicing professional artists of exceptional talent and demonstrated ability. The Fellowship is a merit based, not a project based award.

A selection panel of three artists and arts professionals in each discipline select the Fellowship recipients.
