Artist Grants covered costs associated with meeting basic needs like rent, food, and bills; research and travel; marketing and promotional materials; supplies, equipment, and software; and any other need prioritized by the artist.
From 2018 - 2023, Artist Grants supported Omaha-area artists and organizers working to challenge dominant systems, forge collaborations, and engage with their communities. These unrestricted awards provided direct financial support that could be used in any way that allowed artists and organizers to best continue their work.

*Amplify’s goal is to award at least half (51%) of all Artist Grants to artists and organizers who self-identify as a member of a community or communities that have historically faced discrimination or been denied access to institutional support based on race, ethnicity, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
