Grants for Artist Projects (GAP)
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. Applications will be available in May 2010.
2010 Deadline has passed (June 25). Award announcements will be made in late September/early October 2010.

Fellowships
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. Fellowships are awarded in two-year cycles. Emerging Fields & Cross-Disciplinary Arts, Performing Arts, Visual Arts and Traditional & Folk Arts are awarded in even-numbered years (2010). Music Arts, Media Arts, Literary Arts and Craft Arts are awarded in odd-numbered years (2011). A selection panel of three artists and arts professionals in each discipline select the Fellowship recipients.
Deadline: TBD Fall 2010

Note: Some publications printed an incorrect Fellowship deadline; the deadline has not yet been announced.

Twining Humber Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement
The Twining Humber Award offers a $10,000 award annually to a female, visual artist, over the age of 60 from Washington State. Eligible artists must be nominated and a selection panel of artists and arts professionals will select the recipients. Nomination forms are available each year in November.
Deadline: TBD Winter 2010

Arts Innovator Award
The Arts Innovator Award is a $25,000 grant given to two artists of all disciplines who are breaking new ground and demonstrating innovation in their art practices.

Awardees are announced in the fall.

Conductive Garboil Grant 
An annual award of $3,000 for Seattle artists of all disciplines who have a connection to the Pioneer Square neighborhood and have demonstrated a profound ability to challenge the limits of conductive creative discourse and its effects on our society, pushing the creative act beyond the accepted limits, definitions or purposes of art while engaging audiences outside the aesthetic industrial complex. This grant is administered by Artist Trust and 4Culture with the assistance of the late artist Su Job's personal representative, Lynn Schirmer. Applications are now available.
Deadline: June 7, 2010
