Nō Studios Launches Artist Grant Program
Announcing: The Nō Studios Artist Grant Program
Nō Studios is partnering with gener8tor to distribute up to $100,000 in annual grants to Wisconsin creative professionals!
Supporting Wisconsin-based creatives working in a range of disciplines including visual arts, photography, music, film, dance, fashion, poetry, creative writing, and performance, any artist living and working in Wisconsin can apply.
Up to $25,000 in Artist Grants will be distributed in quarterly installments in grant amounts of up to $10,000 per recipient. A jury of creative professionals from outside Wisconsin will be engaged to review applications.
In describing the program, John Ridley stated, “Nō Studios is creating a fund to award grants to Wisconsin-based artists, especially those from marginalized communities, to support them in the completion of their projects. Importantly, Nō Studios is self-funding this program so as not to put pressure on existing artist initiatives but, instead, to add resources to the Wisconsin creative community.”
Gener8tor is organizing a series of webinars and office hours to explain the grant application process, and The Nō Studios Artist Grant applications will be accepted beginning in March 2021.
Further highlighting the importance of the Nō Studios venture and his commitment to its success, during a recent interview with gener8tor co-founder Joe Kirgues, Ridley stated, “The investment in Nō Studios has been the best investment, outside of my own family, that I’ve made in my life.”
We look forward to enacting this new initiative with you and for you!
