Working Artist Grant
A reader sent in this –
Please look into Working Artist Grant. Charges $25 as a submission fee which goes directly to the individual who runs it not to a nonprofit organization. Does not have a legitimate jury selecting artwork, but just collects funding from applicants so as to make a profit. Winner receives $500 but not really because they must then donate an artwork to the organization.
Any comments, research?

I’ve also applied to this only once without knowing anything about it.

Good to see these comments here. I fell for it but find it a bit too shady. It’s all part of trial and error but having this website is truly helpful. I was stung by Tvak in Ahmedabad India at a unsatisfactory art residency. Will post about it.

I’ve submitted to this a couple of times, but never won anything. It’s a Purchase Award, and (now up to $1000.00) and the website states this. I don’t believe it’s a scam, but I doubt I’ll be applying again.

I have applied too,
no answer email has ever arrived to me
Then I have checked the list of beneficiaries of the grant and my name was not in it.
I believe is legitimate but good for wasting time (and money)
