Amplify's Essentials Fund is made up of two separate categories - Emergency Grants and Micro Grants. This pot of money was instated to increase access to professional tools and respond to unforeseen events that negatively impact an artist’s practice.

On December 2nd, Amplify will begin accepting applications for Micro Grants which are one-time grants for capacity-building support items like supplies, research materials, travel, business cards, and professional development (excluding Amplify Arts Programs).

Join Amplify staff for a special session of Working Artist Wednesday dedicated to demystifying the application process. Get a rundown of what you'll need to apply, eligibility requirements, and a first hand look at how we jury grant applications. Questions are welcome. Please RSVP to attend.
