Amplify Arts’ Artist Grants Program is designed to give artists a platform to experiment, develop new audiences, and create and share work outside the confines of larger institutional systems. Applications for our 2023 schedule of Generator Grant projects open Monday, July 11th and will close on Sunday, August 21st at 11:59pm.
Join Amplify staff and former Generator Grant recipients on Tuesday, July 26th for a virtual Generator Grant Writing Workshop at 6pm on Zoom. Attendees will participate in guided writing exercises designed to encourage critical thinking and distill big ideas into succinct concepts. We’ll also share some helpful tips and leave plenty of time to talk through questions from prospective applicants.
Please register to attend this virtual writing workshop. After registering, you'll receive a confirmation email with a link to join the Zoom meeting.
More about Amplify’s Generator Grants:
Amplify’s Generator Grants encourage creative risk taking by assisting Omaha area artists through the entire process of organizing, marketing, and presenting a curated group exhibition, performance, or project. These $1,500 project grants provide funding and space that enable artist-generated content to take shape outside of larger institutional systems.
Project organizers develop a concept, framework for collaboration, and press and marketing materials. They also organize two public events during the 6 week grant term. Amplify is there each step of the way to lend support, advice, and resources that encourage self-organizing, collective learning, and critical discussion.
