Bertha Anolic Visual Arts Israel Award Grant

The Bertha Anolic Visual Arts Israel Award offers $2,000 to Jewish students passionate about the visual arts and Israel. This funding supports independent study trips, including museum visits, art research, and studio work. Recipients receive $1,750 upfront, with $250 following a report and visuals post-trip. Eligible candidates include undergraduate juniors, seniors, or graduate students in Jewish studies or fine arts, who demonstrate a genuine interest in visual arts, regardless of their major.

The sum of $2,000 will be awarded to a Jewish student who has a particular interest in the visual arts and in Israel, to explore and develop their artistic interest through an independent study trip to Israel. The award is to be used for independent study in the visual arts in Israel.
The award may be used towards funding:

• museum visits, independent art historical research, studio work, materials, professional consultation, art travel, etc.
• Funding

The award is $2,000. Of that amount $1,750 will be paid immediately to the award recipient. The final $250 will be paid after the trip, once a one-page report, with supporting visuals (5-10), is submitted.

Eligibility

Any Jewish student (undergrad junior, senior, or graduate), studying in a Jewish studies college program, department of fine arts, or an academically accredited art school. While applicants must demonstrate a sincere interest in the visual arts, and a Jewish perspective towards the creative process, you do not have to be an art student to apply.

Ineligibility

The award will not pay for tuition for any program or course of study unless it is a program specifically in the visual arts. The award is not for performing arts.
