Description
The Anonymous Was A Woman Environmental Art Grants, administered by the New York Foundation for The Arts (NYFA), provide significant project support for environmental art initiatives led by women, transgender, and gender-nonconforming artists residing in the United States and U.S. territories. The program emphasizes projects that not only address environmental issues but also foster ethical, creative, and community-engaged responses, with particular encouragement for proposals reflecting ecological and social ethics, interdependence, and Indigenous or ancestral practices. The grant is intended for existing projects already in development, supporting either project completion or a defined project phase, and requires a free, public engagement component.
