Description

Anonymous Was A Woman Environmental Art Grants support the completion of environmental art projects, or phases of projects, already in development. Administered by the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA), the program is funded by Anonymous Was A Woman with additional support from individual donors. It supports artists impacted by gender inequity and work that engages environmental issues rather than simply identifying problems.

Projects may address natural or built environments through regeneration, eco-social engagement, decarbonization as decolonization, ecofeminism, climate change or collapse, systems restoration, interspecies relationships, recycling and repurposing, clean energy, or bioplastics. Proposals should demonstrate consideration of ecological and social ethics. Work exploring interdependence, relationships, and systems through Indigenous and ancestral practices is encouraged. Public engagement must add value to the public sphere rather than solely benefiting the artist.
