2025 Queens Arts Fund: New Work Grant

Ends on

The New Work Grant supports emerging individual artists and artist collectives of all artistic disciplines in their creation of new work. “New Work” is defined as work that has not been produced or presented to an audience before. New Work Grants offer project-based financial support of $3,000.
