The CityArtist program provides project funding for the development and presentation of original work by independent Seattle artists. Awards may support new works, works in progress, re-mounted or finished work. Projects must include public presentations in Seattle. We encourage a broad range of artistic and cultural expression that reflects Seattle's diversity.
Funding of up to $10,000 is offered for projects in clusters of disciplines in alternate years:
Even Years
- Film/New Media
- Literary
- Visual/Installation
Odd Years
- Dance/Choreography
- Music/Composition
- Theater/Performance/Playwriting
Traditional or multi-disciplinary projects are welcome, but must include one of the primary disciplines for the application year.
