Grant Funding Amount Low: $500
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $500
Summary
This opportunity celebrates creative individuals whose work encourages meaningful cultural conversation and contributes to social positive change. Each year, one notable woman is selected for recognition and a monetary award—a gesture designed to highlight her role in promoting feminist expression and empowerment through the arts. While the exact amount isn't specified here, the award offers both symbolic and financial affirmation at a year‑end gathering that brings the community together.
Eligible candidates are women artists or leaders whose creative work—spanning writing, visual arts, theater, film, performance, or community arts—has had a sustained impact on elevating the voices of women and girls in their region. The focus is on those who have demonstrated a long‑term commitment to feminist themes, whether through storytelling, advocacy, community-building, or nurturing artistic expression within underserved populations.
Applicants may emerge from a variety of settings: independent artists, nonprofit arts collectives, community organizers, or grassroots cultural groups. As part of the evaluation, nominees typically need to demonstrate how their artistic practice has been a vehicle for social change, offering both inspiration and tangible benefits to women and girls. Many past recipients have used their platforms to center marginalized stories, connect communities, explore healing and identity, or challenge prevailing narratives.
This recognition aims not only to honor outstanding feminist artists but also to amplify their ongoing work as catalysts for change. Winners are celebrated at an annual event that underscores solidarity, creative courage, and leadership in the arts. Although the details around award timing, selection process, and financial terms remain general here, the overall intention of the program is clear: to shine a spotlight on women whose art empowers, transforms, and uplifts others.
