Description
This grant supports environmental art projects across the United States and its territories that are led by women, transgender, and gender-nonconforming artists. The program is dedicated to advancing projects that highlight environmental challenges, foster ethical engagement, and inspire action. It prioritizes projects exploring ecological and social ethics, interdependence, and systems thinking, with a particular interest in those drawing from Indigenous and ancestral practices. Only projects that are already in development (not new projects) are eligible, and all funded activities must culminate in a public engagement event that is free and open to the public.
