Overview

The Grit Fund provides up to $10,000 in funding for collaborative, artist-led projects, fostering community connections through visual arts in Baltimore. Emphasizing accessibility, the fund supports a variety of initiatives including exhibitions, public events, and installations. Eligible artists must be independent and based in Baltimore City or County, ensuring projects are open to the public. This initiative aims to empower artists and cultural organizers to make an impactful contribution to their communities.

Grit Fund awards money to collaborative, artist-led projects—up to $10,000. We accept proposals that use the visual arts to create collaborative public-facing projects.
But it can be difficult to find funding to create, collaborate, and make an impact. Grit Fund makes arts funding accessible for everyone.
Performing or media arts are eligible when visual art is a key component of the finished project. The Grit Fund award period is one year from the date funds are awarded.
