Artist Support Initiatives
In 2020, GA NMWA distributed $500 individual visual artist grants to 20 GA Artists through the Artist Relief Fund
These grants were distributed to women, female-identifying and non-binary visual artists living in Georgia who were able to demonstrate a commitment to their work and who were experiencing immediate financial need due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“As longtime supporters of Georgia’s women artists through educational programs and the Women to Watch exhibition program, we wanted to offer our help during this time of great adversity for visual female artists,” said Georgia Committee Board Chair Sara Steinfeld of this inaugural relief fund.
Artists Requirements:
