Type: Exhibition Opportunities [View all]
Posted by: Prospect Art
Deadline: Tue, December 31st, 2024

For our 2025 NEW WORK Focus on Los Angeles program, we are seeking applications from Los Angeles-based visual artists. This opportunity offers a $1,000 project commission, an exhibition at Winslow Garage, and a feature in our ONE WORK online publication series. Please take a look at out website to learn more about our orgnaization and projects we have supported int he past: https://www.prospectart.org/new-work-la

This grant is designed to support innovative, self-contained projects that can be completed by fall 2025. We aim to foster a space where artists can push their creative boundaries, take risks, and explore new artistic directions. Projects should be ones that need to be fully realized in a space and have not been exhibited previously.

This program supports professional artists who have lived in Los Angeles County for at least five years that are not enrolled in undergraduate or graduate programs. We define "professional artists" as those who are at least three years out from their studies—whether that is high school, undergraduate, or graduate school—and have at least three years of professional practice as demonstrated in their bio through exhibitions, residencies, grants, or fellowships. No formal education is required, and self-taught artists are encouraged to apply. We value proposals that demonstrate innovation, professionalism, and an enhancement of the artist’s practice.

The selection process includes two phases: an initial review by past grant recipients and curators, followed by a final evaluation by our advisory board and the director of Winslow Garage. Applicants will be assessed on the conceptual strength of their proposals, integration with the exhibition space, and the quality of past work. One artist or collaborative will be selected to bring their project to life, with finalists participating in an online studio visit to provide updates and share more details about their work.
